Ashish: Swamiji Namaste Swamiji i want to know do we get energy from calories that we intake or from the vital forces in our body, which gets charged during sleep i.e Atma. As many say Atma is the source of energy. Is food a source of energy or it just helps in regeneration of cells in our body. Could you please explain me concept of calories and how much calories should we consume in a day.

Thanks & Regards

Swami Ram Swarup: Namasteji. Energy is meant for only human-body and the same is obtained from the nutritive food that we eat like fruits, milk, water, paneer, dry fruits, dal, vegetables etc. Atma is not source of energy meant for human-body. As regards calories, you may consult physician/dietician please.
