Pop Quiz! Calories Answer

If you guessed A, well- you were wrong.        

sorry.

The answer is D:

it takes consuming 3,500 additional calories to gain a pound, and inversely- you have to cut out or burn 3,500 calories to lose a pound.

Sound like a lot?


To lose a pound a week you need a 500 calorie deficit all 7 days:

Cut out 250 calories from food every day

Burn off 250 calories/day from exercise
(can double up calorie burn so you don't necessarily need to work out every day)

  

In order to GAIN a pound a week: just slap on an extra 500 calories a day and don't exercise.

Wanna know some easy ways to gain a pound a week (not recommended!) ?

Drink 3.5 sodas a day

OR drink a 30 pack of Bud light by yourself....hangover much?

OR a 24 pack of Bud heavy (budweiser).. i know some dudes who have no problem throwing back 12 beers a night in a weekend.

OR get a fast food egg/cheese/sausage sandwich every morning during the work week (5 days)
