Look at the Numbers!

47% of Americans overestimate how many calories they should eat daily!! And when 53% of Americans are trying to lose weight, and 25% of Americans are trying to maintain their current weight, this could be a problem!

Here is a general rule for people trying to safely lose weight (at about a pound a week):

• YOUR WEIGHT * 11 = The number of calories per day you should be able to eat and still safely lose about a pound per week.

What Americans are doing to lose weight:

• Changing how much they eat.....71%


• Exercising.....................................62%


• Changing how often they eat.....44%


• Counting Calories........................19%
