The energy of the foods
Many people include the foods in two groups: those that put on weight and those that don't put on weight. This simplistic classification lacks nutritional foundation and it can cause that we follow an inadequate diet.
The human organism obtains energy of the distributed macronutrientes (hydrates of carbon, proteins and fat) in a heterogeneous way in the foods. Our body needs energy to carry out the vital features: the nervous system works with electric energy, the muscular one with mechanics, the thermal energy regulates the corporal temperature and with chemical energy it is possible to obtain different molecules. These energy types take place in the organism starting from the substances chemical constituentes of the macronutrientes by means of metabolic complex reactions. The energy value of the nutrients and, therefore, of the foods that control them it expresses in Kilocalories (Kcal), since during the metabolism heat was generated.

All the foods except the water contribute energy, unless they stay in the plate. An energy for if alone you don't have capacity of to put on weight or not to put on weight. The energy value of a concrete energy or a plate is determined by the content in macronutrientes of the energy or of the plate, and for the quantity that the person consummates throughout the day or habitually. The key: to eat of everything in an equilibrated way and in the appropriate proportions.
