Let's face it, if you don't want to gain weight you have to make sure that calories in, equal calories out. I know that your saying DA! but think about it. Everything we do burns calories. When we sleep, think and eat, we are burning calories. Unfortionally most of us eat way more than we burn. Everyday body functions burn about 60 to 75 percent of calories in or about 1,000 to 2,000 calories. Activity accounts for 15 to 35 percent of calorie burning.The rest of calorie burning is the result of digesting, transporting and storing protein. |
