How does the body turn calories into energy? is it the stomach that does all the work?

I read a story once about a guy who puts a treadmill in the basement and imagines as he works out and loses weight the little workers in his body have less work to do.

It’s a horror so they end up getting mad and going after him .. but I kinda like the mental image to lose weight. So I tried to imagine my own little story line about the energy foreman in my body as I work to lose weight …

But it turns out that while I understand the general gist.. im not sure HOW the body turns calories into energy. I know the digestion process removes nutrients to absorb.. but how does that turn into energy?

Your cells do the work- the process is called [cellular respiration](https://youtu.be/eJ9Zjc-jdys)!
