Jann Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Living by the Numbers There's a lot more to restructuring your body than numbers, but knowing the very basics will help you on your path to fitness, especially in the beginning while your habits are changing. Committing these facts to memory will serve you well: For example, a candy bar that has 10 grams of protein (40 calories), 60 grams of carbs (240 calories), and 25 grams of fat (225 calories) provides 505 calories. If you were eating one per day, that's 3,535 calories per week. By simply cutting out your candy bar you'll lose a pound per week without by changing anything else. * 1 gram of carbohydrates = 4 calories * 1 gram of protein = 4 calories * 1 gram of fat = 9 calories * 1 gram of alcohol = 7 calories * 3,500 calories = 1 pound of body weight Jann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doinitagann Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Oh dear, that is too interesting. I was never a candy bar lover but that sure did put some perspective on the whole deal. Something to keep in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
