Calorie Counts

Calorie Counts

If you are still blissfully unaware of how many calories are in your movie theater popcorn, amusement park funnel cake and frozen margarita, SAVOR IT, because you won't be able to escape the truth a year from now. The FDA will require chain eateries to post calorie counts for all items on the menu - including drinks. 50% of the people underestimate the calories they consume in a day.
We are terrible at judging the amount of calories we consume each day.
300,000 shops will be required to show calorie counts. Americans eat ⅓ 33% of their calories outside their homes. Remember  a calorie is not a calorie! There are good calories and bad calories. You will need to learn this to maintain or lose your unhealthy weight. Adding 5 pounds of muscle will burn 26 pounds of your frame in a year!!!

Remember:
     Recognize how many calories you ate
     Do not lie to your self
     Regret it BUT do not beat your self up
     Ask " What can I learn from this "
     CHANGE BEHAVIOR
     A mistake does not destroy a self plan
