Everyone knows about cal
ories, but how many people
really understand the relation
ship between calories and body
weight? How many can chocs e
their calories wisely from our
abundance of nourishing foods.
Calories represent the ener
gy available in food and the
energy needs of the body. The
balance between the body's
energy requirement and the
calorie value of food consum
ed is the fundamental factor
in the control of body weight.
When food is eaten in ex
cess of the body's need for
energy, whether taken in the
form of carbohydrates, pro -
terns or fats, the equivalent
of excess calories is deposited
as fat with a resulting weight
gain.
The basic principle behind
a sound reduction diet is that
it supplies fewer calories than
needed to force the body to
use its stored fat. But calorie
counting alone is not a safe

The daily food guide is a
carefully planned guide to the
kinds and amounts of foods
that form the foundation for
a well balanced diet.
To reduce calories without
starving your body of its other
needs, eat three balanced
meals including foods from
each of the following basic
groups each day:
Milk and Cheese —Fluid or
dry skim milk and buttermilk
and cheese made from skim
milk are lower in calories th*i
other types of milk and cheese.
Meat, Poultry, Fish, Eggs
—Prepare and serve them with

meat.
V e getables and Fruits--Eat
a variety, but take them
straight. Vegetables withovt
cream, sauce or fat— Fruits
without sugar or cream.
Bread and Cereal —Choose
whole grain, enriched and
restored kinds. Although
these are no lower in calories
than other kinds, they are
more nutritional.
Watch the amount of foods
you eat. Small servings will
