A food item contains calories, these are a measure of the amount of energy contained in the food. Your body burns these calories to make energy for your body. Your body only burns/uses so many calories. By counting calories in your food, you are estimating the total amount of calories taken in, and can see roughly if you are running a surplus, which will cause you to stay fat.
