FIND OUT MORE Giles Yeo Principal Research Associate University of Cambridge WHY CALORIES DON'T COUNT A calorie is a calorie, so they say. It shouldn’t matter whether it comes from steak, a carrot or a doughnut. Except it does, as metabolic researcher Giles Yeo will explain. Our body works harder to extract calories from some food compared to others, which is why calories don’t always count. It all adds up to an important insight: we eat food, not calories.
