Food items are measured in calories of stored energy because our bodies burn energy in amounts that we can also measure, and that measure is in the form of calories. A calorie is typically known as the amount of energy required to raise one gram of water one degree in temperature.
Much of the energy stored by our bodies is designed to be released fairly quickly from our muscles and from our deposits of fat. Muscles release this energy quickly so we can (historically) chase and catch prey, and also to elude predators.
