Promotion of a healthy lifestyle affected that many began to think of the caloric content of any given product. To calculate this formula, it is necessary to address special tables.
It is required to you
- Table of caloric content of products and separate dishes.
Instruction
1. The calorie is stand-alone unit which measures amount of energy. It it is possible to be equated to amount of heat which is necessary for, for example, heating of one gram of water also. The final size of calorie will depend on reference water temperature.
2. Caloric content of any given food is defined by amount of energy which will be received as a result of assimilation of any given product. Now researchers already learned to define by practical consideration given sizes. For this purpose they place a certain product in a calorimeter, burn it and do measurements of heat generated at the same time. Then separately in such camera measure heat which was generated by the defined test person. The received size is transferred after that to so-called "burned" calories. Thanks to such experience the actual, that is physiological high-calorie value of any given product is also learned. These listed sizes can never coincide as the metabolism in an organism the person isn't absolute oxidizer.
3. Caloric content of one and that product often can not correspond in different tables of caloric content of products. For example, the European, Asian and American values in tables will differ. This results from the fact that animals, vegetables and fruit were grown up in different conditions therefore their structure too different. Can influence caloric content, besides, and productivity of vegetables or fruit. The harvest was higher in a year, the less will contain in it carbohydrates, respectively, the less there will be a caloric content.
4. To calculate the optimum caloric content of a food allowance, it is necessary to use special formulas. The figures received by means of it are always individual. They have to consider age and sex, degrees of physical activity and other not less important factors of activity of the person.
5. For example, counting product caloric content, it is necessary to remember some rules. So, for those who want to lose weight it is necessary to spend more calories, than to receive. It is better to use the main high-calorie products in the first part of days. Sports loadings will help to save from excess calories. Using the table of caloric content of products, it is possible to learn what power feed is necessary to an organism.
