    The human body consumes energy all the time, and this energy is provided by the heat-generating nutrients in the food. The nutrients that can produce calories in food include protein, fat and carbohydrate, which are called the three major production nutrients. They are oxidized to produce heat for the body to maintain life, growth and development and exercise. Insufficient heat supply can not meet the needs of the human body. Excessive supply of excess energy is also undesirable. Excess energy is not an excess nutrition, but an imbalanced nutrition, which is harmful to the body. To analyze the nutritional value of food, calories are only one aspect, and other scientific judgments need to be weighed.
