Calorie Burning 101 by © Carole Pagan, 2004

But Caaaarole, I didn't feeeeel like going to the store and

making dinner. I ran through the McDonalds drive-thru

instead. Kicked my feet up in front of the TV and didn't

move.

Oh my, that decision cost you 160 burned calories, plus an

additional 200 calories that you added to your intake, for a

total of 360 excess calories. Do that for 10 days, and you'll

have gained a pound.

Not to mention that you'll feel sluggish from all that fat, so

you'll be even less motivated to get up and move.

But let's say that the snapshot above was pretty close to

your day, but instead of 2 hours of TV, you went to the mall.

You added another 135 calories to the burn column!

Or you have a stationary bike in front of the TV -

that works too, add about 135 calories to the burn column.

If you have kids, or a dog, add another 120 calories burned

for each hour of activity with them.

I know, it could be more or less depending on the kinds of

activity and how strenuously you do each one. That's really

not the point here. There's a fine line between maintaining

and gaining weight. Poor decisions made regularly add up

quickly.

Eat Smarter + Move More = Lose Weight
