The low calorie diet

So what is a calorie?
The calorie is the unit used for measuring the amount of energy in food. A calorie is the the energy required to increase the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree centigrade at normal atmospheric pressure. If a food has more calories, then it will gives you more energy to use when your body burns it.

Low-cal foods include cauliflower, cucumbers, melon, steaks, burgers and chilis, and bamboo shoots.
