Understand Calories

 
      Every calorie is equal to the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree at one atmosphere pressure. Essentially the numeric value of calories will reflect how much energy your body would have to use to burn away the calorie, kind of like cancelling each other out. On the other hand, if the calorie isn't burned off because you are taking in more units of calories than your body is using energy, then you are storing more of these calories in your body. Once calories go into storage mode they become fat.
    Let's say your body is a factory, and all your bodily functions are the prime focus of this factory. Now calories are potential employees. Today you plan on sitting on the couch doing nothing all day, which   means the factory will functioning very slowly and only needs to complete the minimal tasks. Now you eat a huge breakfast with a sugary coffee, creamy with high fat milk and a carbo loaded fried egg sandwich. You just hired about 800 or more calories to work in the factory(keep in mind 2000 is the recommended daily caloric intake).

              
   Your body is working calories very slowly sitting on the couch since you are not increasing your heart rate (assembly line is on slow), and if you nod off to sleepland then the factory tries to reserve energy (we are going to have to send you home early today), thus even less calories are necessary. So all these unused calories are like unneeded employees. Here we have all these calories standing in the unemployment line waiting for work, meanwhile they have nothing to do so the factory "lays them off".
   There is a distainful name for this unemployed, lazy calories, we call them fat! Now, fat on it's own isn't a bad thing. These calories are still units of energy, which we can employ should the factory ever need to work quickly! However, they are now "plumping up" so it will be harder to get them "off their butts". This is to the body what the economic burden of high unemployment is to tax payers.
  The tax payers are the working calories in this situation, the hard workers who are trying to pump blood through however many excess pounds hanging around. It's like the assembly line still has to finish a ton a work, but the line is still moving so slow because the factory is sitting on the couch!!! And if they don't finish that work by nightfall, they too will be unemployed and sent into the bulk of fat.
   The next meal comes and you eat another 500 calories, and your body still has no work for them. This is like June when everyone graduates and enters a workforce that is already scarce on jobs. And so the burden gets heavier, and now our fat levels are obscene. How can we recover? 

    Job creation! Our government has utilized this method often. We need to give these calories something to do! The factory contacts the laid off calories and says, "Hey we need X amount of calories to provide the energy needed to strengthen our muscle "department". Now you can compare this to the WalMart's summer process of hiring temporary employees. (The good part, we can exhaust the workers resources when they are calories, but when they are real people...well they still need to find work.)
