What are calories? Is it the amount if energy in a food? How does the body uses calories, burns calories, and how does excess calories becomes fat?

Why are food “low in calories” good for you? Why are food of the same size, have different amount if calories?

As others have answered the first part im going to ignor that.

Low calories is not inherently good or healthy, your body needs some energy to keep running, normaly about 2000cal a day. Not havig that means your body burns fat and you loose weight. Being low calorie is just a good thing if your goal is to loose weight. And different foods have different calories for te same volume because they are made out of different stuff, a tomato is mostly water, that has zero calories, a steak is fat and protein, both have calories.
