When trying to lose weight, you should eat less calories that your body burns on a daily basis. The amount of calories burned by
your body depends on your actual weight, age, daily activity, your job, etc.
However, not all the foods that you eat will make energy available to your body. Your stomach burn calories when digesting food. How
many ? These numbers depends on many factors, but the most important is the type of food that you eat. Usually, your stomach
will burn the same amount of calories to digest 100g of any type of food. But, if you eat a cake who have 600 calories per 100 grams,
and a tomato with 60 calories per 100 grams, it is clear that after digestion, much less calories will be available if you eat tomatoes.
Some researchers tells that certain vegetables and fruits ( with low amount of calories ), will make your body to burn more calories
that he gets from the food.

- apple

amount of calories per 100g, we gain weight.
