The human body is a living machine ,and, like all machines, it needs fuel to supply it with energy. This is provided by the food we eat. But how much do we need to stay healthy?
The energy value of food is usually measured in calories. A calorie is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of water by 1℃.The number of calories people need per day is different, as the chart below shows. Also, the number of calories you use at any moment normally depends on the activity you are in. For example, you need more calories for standing than for sitting, more for running than for walking, and so on.
The energy in food is mainly in the form of three kinds of chemical materials—carbohydrate(糖类),protein and fat. Carbohydrate provides 3.8 Cal/gm(calories per gram) of energy, protein 4.0 Cal/gm and fat 8.8 Cal/gm. Each food contains different amounts of these materials, as the second chart shows.

C. Different people need different amounts of energy depending on their age, sex and the activities they are in.
D.3 grams of milk provides 16.6 calories because carbohydrate provides 3.8 Cal/gm, protein 4.0 Cal/gm, and fat 8.8 Cal/gm.
Overweight has been a great concern for some people. In an attempt to keep normal weight, people have 48 tried various methods. Nevertheless, not all the ways are 49 when it comes to health. For weight loss, many people 50 the high-protein, low-carbohydrate(碳水化合物)diets. However, such diets might have 51 harmful long-term effects on the colon (结肠), a small study indicates.
On average, the study found when the men were on the high-protein diets, they had higher levels of substances known as N-nitrous compounds that have been 52 cancer. And when they were on the high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet, they had lowered amounts of fiber-originated compounds thought to be protective against 53 .
The findings 54 that people should be aware of consuming too much protein and too little fiber over a long period. In general, experts 55 that adults get about 28 grams of fiber per day though—it’s not known whether that’s enough for someone on a high-protein weight-loss diet.
