The ultimate question!!!! What WOULD you do for a Klondike bar? (KB) If one was offered and I had to run for it, (I [b]HATE running), I would run the required lap(s), lose calories and energy, then refresh myself with the delicious chocolate and vanilla ice cream. (Please don't say,"I would go to the store and buy one. BORING!!!"
He's counting literal calories. For example, my bowl of cereal had 13 kilo-calories. Really, there are so many calories in food that if we counted them one by one, are daily caloric intake would be in the millions. So its easier to measured Calories by the thousand rather than the one.
