The more active you are, the more calories â per pound of your body weight â you require to maintain your weight. Harvard Medical School reports that inactive adults need about 13 calories per pound of their body weight daily, moderately active individuals require 16 calories per pound and active adults need about 18 calories per pound.
One cup of raw chopped zucchini squash contains 20 calories. Out of these 20 calories 75% of the calories come from carbohydrates, 16% calories come from proteins and just 9% calories are obtained from fat.
You can keep zucchini squash almost indefinitely if you pickle and jar it. Combine one pound of sliced zucchini with one cup of sliced onions and two tablespoons of salt in a non-reactive pot. Add enough water to cover the vegetables, and let the pot stand for two hours.
