How many calories are you burning?

These calculations are based on a 60 minute time span and a 150 pound person.  The number of calories for each activity will vary according to individual weight and level of activity.

How big is the serving you are ACTUALLY eating?

Most of us that are trying to lose or manage our weight, are used to inspecting the label for nutritional information.  At first glance, you may see the calories and be delighted that the count is low and continue to eat the entire food item.  Upon further inspection, you will realize that the calorie count is “Per Serving” and that food item that you are eating, as small as it may be, is actually 3 servings!  In essence, tripling the amount of everything you first inspected on the label.

Serving size examples:
20oz bottle of Coke – 2.5 Servings
12oz can of Pepsi – 1.5 Servings
Snack Size Chips – 2 Servings
Snack Size Cheetos – 2.5 Servings
Bag of M&Ms – 2 Servings
12″ Frozen Pizza – 6 Servings

Look forward to the “thinner, happier, healthier you!”
