Why count calories?

An average adult should consume around 2,000 calories a day. That is the amount of calories you would use up on a daily basis. Now if you exercise a lot you will be using up more calories and will need to consume more calories. You always want to be using up as many calories as you are consuming. If you don't you will see a weight gain in your body. Another thing to keep in mind besides counting calories is watching the ingredients that your food is made out of, just because you are eating under the amount of calories you burn doesn't mean you won't gain weight. You need to watch the fat content, sugar content, etc. This is why an orange is a perfect snack. The calories in an orange are low, the fat is low but the natural sugar is high. Other fruits are great choices as well, since they are low in calories, but a orange is so sweet. I prefer getting my calories from an orange.
