How do they measure the calorie content of food? When you lose weight, where does it go? And other "burning" questions...

This is a very interesting article about how exactly they figure out the calorie count of an item, how fitness equipment figures out your calorie burn, and more. Who knew!?

You know, I remember seeing a video on how they figure calories in a health class sometime in elementary or junior high school.  Always thought it was kinda weird...

Great article! Thanks!
