Introduction
The actual question, and therefore the answer to "what are calories made of" is rather multi faceted, however; the calories that we are concerned with are the ones that add the pounds to our backsides. Knowing exactly what they are will give us a greater understanding of how to dispense with them, or rather their packaging, which we know more intimately as fat.
What are calories?
Calories, are units of energy (more about energy later) and as such do not have mass, they are weightless; however, the method we have evolved to store that energy, fat, has a great deal of both weight and bulk.
