But all it takes to avoid these problems, and to potentially improve your diet, is to understand calories: what they are, how our bodies use them, and how to manage them in the foods we eat and the activities we perform. Calorie balance is an essential component of a healthy body and mind, and an awareness of how many calories you eat and how many you burn off in a given day is easy to learn. More importantly, the benefits of mastering your caloric intake are a much more effective—and lasting—nutritional tool than any of the fad diets you may find advertized on television and in magazines.

In It’s All about the Calories!, you learn

• what factors play roles in establishing an individual’s total calorie needs;
• how to determine your own basal metabolic rate and calorie requirements; and
• some sensible ways to incorporate calorie-burning activities into your life.
