A member asked:
Could you tell me what happens to food in one's body when one burns off calories?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Conversion: Calories are another term for energy. Food is used either for building blocks to repair body breakdown or to provide a source of fuel (energy) for the body. What ever is not needed for either of those two purposes is disposed of as waste.
