100 Calories a Day Over a Year= 10 Lbs
“Agreement is growing that the source of the obesity epidemic lies in an environment that produces an energy gap, where energy intake exceeds energy expenditure even by as little as 100 excess calories per day,” wrote Clarke and co-authors Patrick O’Malley, Lloyd Johnston, John Schulenberg and Paula Lantz, all researchers at ISR. -Medical News Today
MY COMMENT: A pound of fat is the equivelant of approx. 3,500 calories. Over a year (365 days), 100 extra calories a day, either through eating more or exercising less, might add up to a 10 pound gain. A hundred calories a day isn’t much, but over 5-10 years the difference will be significant. See what you are eating or drinking that you don’t reallly need (soda, energy drinks, bacon, etc.) and take an extra walk during the day.
