What’s 100 Calories A Day?

According to the American Dietetic Association, the difference between losing weight and gaining weight can be as many as 100 calories a day. The vast majority of Americans suffer from 'weight loss' - those kilograms of weight gain over the years - at an average of 2 pounds a year. That’s 20 pounds in ten years. 40 pounds in 20. Can you weigh 40 pounds more than you do now in 20 years? The difference can be as simple as cutting 100 calories a day into your daily diet - or adding 100 calories a day to your daily routine - or a combination of both. How difficult is it to reduce 100 calories a day in your diet? Take a look. Are you a coffee lover? If you drink your coffee whole milk, you can save 100 calories a day by drinking two cups of skim milk. Do you drink cold drinks without eating? One 16 ounces of Pepsi contains 250 calories. Skip one Pepsi a day and you will be two and a half times less than the recommended calorie reduction. Replace the empty donut with the jelly donut. You will burn 120 calories. Do you think you do better by choosing a lighter croissant? Think again. The croissant has as many calories as jelly donut - 289. If you eat at Mickey D's, skip dressing in your salad, or you may have a burger. One packet of French clothes contains 160 calories. If you go out with young men, have a small sip of beer. Each 12 ounces of beer, even the simplest, 100 calories. Do you want to burn it instead of avoiding it? Here is how much time you need to spend on various activities to burn 100 calories. Vigorous swimming for just 15 minutes will burn 100 calories. You can burn 100 calories per hour while doing housework. Do you have only ten minutes? Jump the rope. With 700 calories an hour, you can burn 100 calories in just 10 minutes! Knock for an hour and fifteen minutes. At 85 calories an hour, it is not a big calorie burner, but if you combine that with potato chips you can not eat while weaving you can save some calories. Stay late to the office for an additional forty - unless, of course, you miss your workout in the gym. An hour of office work burns 140 calories. Soak in the trampoline for fifteen minutes. Moderate aerobics exercises burn 400 calories per hour. Add some music and dance to the tramp through four songs and you will be doing well. Walk for 10 minutes - but point at a faster speed. Power walking burns 600 calories per hour. You can heat 100 in 10 minutes. Play a golf round at the club. Half an hour of playing golf - without a golf cart - burns 120 calories. The beauty of it all is that you can build any of the above suggestions into your daily routine, and create a healthy routine that will ultimately not exceed those extra pounds and shed the ones you want to lose now.
