calorie counting
Tracking food energy
Calorie counting is the practice of tracking the energy content of food consumed, typically for weight management.
A person counting calories monitors their daily intake against a target number, often using apps or food labels.
The approach treats weight loss as arithmetic: consume fewer calories than you burn.
