Calories give you energy, which is needed to keep you and your body going throughout the day, but if you’re not burning enough calories then that’s where weight gain occurs. So it’s important to make sure you’re not eating food that’s too high in calories, which will add to extra, unwanted weight gain.
The important thing to remember is to live a healthy style. The calorie content in food should play a role in your diet along with exercise and your scale will thank you.

How many caloties in a dish of Mongolian Beef with white rice? Somebody - help please!
Hi Jeremy,
The amt of calories totally depends on exact ingredients and cooking method. However, a 6 oz portion of Mongolian Beef from P.F. Changes for example contains 337 calories, 15 g total fat, 4 g saturated fat, 1,340 mg sodium, 29 g protein, and 1 g fiber. A 6 oz serving of steamed white rice contains 220 calories. So a 6 oz serving of Mongolian Beef with white rice would total 557 calories.
