  1. Yes if you didn't do exercise then the sugar 'll convert in to fat and same is with our food its obvious because you see those people who are ft they just sit and eat and they didn't do any exercise. The person who do a lot of exercise remains fit because when he eats he do exercise and burn his fats. If you eat one cookie then you know how much sugar it has you have to do a lot of exercise for 3 days then its going to remove that amount of sugar from your body.

                         The fat gram take some time to convert in to fats like milk takes 4 hour,capsicum takes 3 hours but if you take cucumber or salad without dressing like cabbage and tomatoes then it makes you to lose weight in the way that these are like raw food for your body. Its makes your metabolism fast and burns your energy.

                     I think that's enough for your information. Best of luck

  2. No.  Calories are a unit of energy.  When the body digests food it extracts energy from the chemical bonds of the food.  The energy is used to make ATP which supplies the body the energy it needs for activities.  Fat has 9 calories of energy per gram.  Carbohydrates and protein have 4 calories per gram.   So you can see why if you are trying to cut calories, restricting fat intake would help.  But fat is essential to proper health and moderation is the key.  

    The body has ways of storing the energy that you take in.  This way, if you go through a period of starvation, which happened quite a bit as we were evolving, your body could tap into these energy stores and allow you to survive.  The body stores energy in the form of glycogen and fat.  Glycogen is readily available to the body when it is needed and is primarily stored in skeletal muscle.  It might represent about 5 pounds of your body weight.  When you are burning more calories than you take in, the body will tap into this store of energy.  Once this energy source is depleted, your body will tap into its other store of energy: Body fat.  This is ultimatly how you lose body fat.  In the same way, when you take in more calories of energy than you use, the body stores this energy as fat.  Its a simple mathematical formula and no magical pill will enable a person to get around it.  

    One last thing.  Many people believe that there are large variations in metabolism amonst different people.  "I'm fat because I have a slow metabolism, etc."  Scientific studies have shown that this is just not true, not only between sexes but between different races.  This makes sense as anyone with a "high metabolism" would make inefficient use of calories.  In other words, they would starve to death much easier than someone with a slow metabolism.  Evolution would have taken them out of the gene pool long ago.  Physical activity and body weight are the main contributors to what your caloric needs are.

  3. calories are the amount of energy your body can use in a food.  Whether it be from carbohydrates, sugars or fats.  Fats are one (of many) types of energy in food our body can use and is higher in concentration in different foods.

  4. ...

    the grams of fat is the actual fat content of the consumable. An item could have several hundred calories, yet be made with no fat at all. If a nutrition label says 12 grams of fat, it has nothing to do with calories at all, it means that there are twelve grams of fat per serving of the food you're eating. As to how fast the calories are converted to fat, it all depends on your body. I've known guys who could eat 6-7k in calories every day without gaining an ounce.
