Chew on This



I have never been a big calorie counter... However, for the sake of this blog I decided to look at some of the restaurants I frequent (probably too often) to see exactly what I am eating. I have to say I was pretty shocked to see the caloric content of what I thought to be the healthy option on the menu...

First Find Your Number...
Women who exercise 30-60 minutes/day versus less than 30 minutes of exercise/day

  • Age 19-30 2000-2400 calories vs. 2000
  • Age 31-50 2000-2200 calories vs. 1800
  • Age 50+ 1800-2200 calories vs. 1600
Men who exercise 30-60 minutes/day versus less than 30 minutes of exercise/day

  • Age 19-30 2600-3000 calories vs. 2400
  • Age 31-50 2400-3000 calories vs. 2200
  • Age 50+ 2200-2800 calories vs. 2000
