Meat and vegetables are measured in grams and kilograms. Milk and other liquid foods are m

easured in liters and milliliters. These units only measure quantity; they do not measure the value of the food to the body. The unit which measures the quality or value of food is the "calorie". A calorie is the amount of heat given off by food when it burns. This measurement tells how much energy a certain food has when it is completely used by the body.
