What's 100 Calories A Day?
According to the American Dietetic Association, the difference
between weight loss and weight gain can be as little as 100
calories a day. Most Americans suffer from 'weight creep' -
those nagging pounds that creep on over the years - at an
average of about 2 pounds per year. That's 20 pounds in ten
years. 40 pounds in 20. Can you afford to weigh 40 pounds more
than you do now in twenty years? The difference could be as
simple as cutting out 100 calories a day from your daily diet -
or adding 100 calories a day to your daily routine - or a
combination of both. How hard is it to cut 100 calories a day
out of your diet? Take a look. Are you a coffee lover? If you
drink your coffee with whole milk, you can save 100 calories a
day by drinking two cups with skim milk instead. Do you drink
non-diet soft drinks? One 16 ounce Pepsi is 250 calories. Skip
one Pepsi a day and you'll be cutting out two and a half times
the suggested calorie reduction. Substitute a plain donut for a
jelly donut. You'll cut out 120 calories. Think you're doing
better by choosing the lighter croissant? Think again. A
croissant has as many calories as a jelly donut - 289. If you
eat out at Mickey D's, skip the dressing on your salad, or you
might as well have a burger. One packet of French dressing has
160 calories. If you go out with the guys, drink one less beer.
Each 12 oz beer, even a light brand, averages 100 calories. Want
to burn it up instead of avoiding it? Here's how much time you
need to spend at various
activities to burn 100 calories.
Swimming energetically for just 15 minutes will burn 100
calories. You can burn 100 calories for every hour that you do
housework. Only have ten minutes? Jump rope. At 700 calories per
hour, you can burn up 100 calories in just 10 minutes! Knit for
an hour and fifteen minutes. At 85 calories an hour, it's not a
major calorie burner, but if you combine that with the potato
chips you can't munch while you're knitting you could be saving
some substantial calories. Stay late at the office for an extra
forty - unless of course, you're missing your workout at the
gym. An hour of office work burns about 140 calories. Hop on the
trampoline for fifteen minutes. Moderate aerobics exercise burns
400 calories an hour. Put on some music and dance on the tramp
through four songs and you'll be doing great. Go for a 10 minute
walk - but aim for a brisk pace. Power walking burns 600
calories an hour. You can burn 100 in ten minutes. Play a round
of golf at the club. Half an hour of golfing - without a golf
cart - burns 120 calories. The beauty of it all is that you can
build any of the suggestions above into your daily routine, and
create a healthy habit that will keep off extra pounds and take
off those that you want to lose now.
