Calories Explained
• A calorie is a unit of energy.
• In nutrition and everyday language, calories
refer to energy consumption through eating
and drinking and energy usage through
physical activity.
• For example, an apple may have 80 calories,
while a 1 mile walk may use up about 100
calories.

Recommended Daily Calorie

Why Do We Need Calories?
• We need a certain number of calories just to
function.
• Even if you are not moving your lungs need to
pump oxygen, your heart needs to pump
blood, your kidneys need to excrete wastes,
your liver needs to detoxify and your brain
needs to coordinate what your body is doing.

How Many Calories In:
Coolmine Community School
Scoil Phobail Chúil Mhín
Remember
• Every packaged item that you buy must
contain nutritional information on a label.
• This will list the amount of carbohydrates,
sugar, fats, protein, salt, calories, etc. in the
food, normally given per portion size.

Food Labelling Explained
• A snickers bar has 250 calories BUT calories
are not the only things you should look at!!!
• 27grams of sugar
(4 grams of sugar =1 teaspoon)
• So there are almost 7 teaspoons of sugar in a
snickers.
• You should also look at the salt content. It is
recommended you only have 6 grams of salt
a day
Coolmine Community School

Remember
• We need calories to function properly
• Eating too many calories in a day has a
negative impact on your health
• Equally important eating too little calories
everyday can also have a hugely negative
impact on your daily functions, as well as your
hair, skin and nails.

Eating Habits in Coolmine
• We surveyed a number of students, both
male and female on their daily food and drink
intake.
• The results in the following slides are their
calories consumed, five days a week, over a
one year period.
(Survey carried out in 2013/14)
Coolmine Community School
Scoil Phobail Chúil Mhín
REMEMBER
• We need calories to carry out our everyday activities.
Not all calories are bad.
• Excessive calories, as long as they are burnt off
through exercise is fine e.g.. a professional athlete
may consume up to 10000 calories a day but exercise
for several hours.
• Food is very important to our health but its equally
important we get enough good foods.
• Treats are fine but should be just that – a treat and not
something you have several times a day

Transition Year Female
• Breakfast: biscuits x 3 and tea
• Lunch: chocolate bar and half crisp roll
• Dinner: tuna and pasta
• Snacks: noodles, biscuits and tea
Approx 2600 calories. This is 450 calories over
the daily allowance.
This amounts to 146000 extra calories a year
Which if not burnt off equals 3 stone weight gain
over a year
Aside from the calories this is a poor diet as there
is no fruit and vegetables or water.

Year Male
• Breakfast: 2 slices of toast and tea
• Small break: can of coke and half a sausage baguette
• Big break: half a curry chip roll
• Dinner: pasta & water
• Supper: tea & toast and a couple of biscuits
Total = 2898. This is 300 calories over the daily
allowance which if not burnt off will amount to 2 stone
weight gain over a year (12.7 kg)
Aside from the calories this is a poor diet as there is no
fruit and vegetables and very little water

• Breakfast: nothing
• Small break: half a crisp roll
• Big break: half a meatball roll
• Dinner: nothing
• Drinks: cappucino & lucozade
Total = 1480. This is 670 less than the daily allowance.
This will result in excessive tiredness, lack of energy,
poor teeth, hair, nails and skin health.
Aside from the calories this is a very poor diet as there is
no fruit, vegetables or water. Not having breakfast has
a serious effect on your metabolism.
