Haven't seen this in a while!!

There are 3500 calories in a pound of fat

Intake vs outgoing calorie ratio is what you have to watch.

If at rest you MIGHT burn 1800 calories a day, so eat 700 calories more than that in a day and you will gain a pound in no time. Burn an extra 700 and you will lose a pound in no time.

This is all I look at. Calories are calories for the most part, you can get fat on lettuce and fruit if you consume more calories than you burn.

Keep it simple, don't be miserable, and eat carbs!! Carbs are the brains primary source (if not only source) for water - hence CarboHYDRATE. You gotta have them to feel good and think properly.

Eat to live, don't live to eat - and get up and move instead of watchin the tube. Hell, park the zero turn and push once a week - that'll increase the gap between calories is and out!
