Little Bites Add Up...

Often times we forget to add up the little extra calories we consume throughout the day. However, these can really add up and prevent weight-loss.

Bite 1-
1/4 cup apple juice remains in the bottle, might as well finish it right? 30 calories

Bite 2-
2 Tablespoons of cereal are left in the box after your normal pour. No sense putting this little away, top off the rest in your bowl. 20 calories

Bite 3-
The coffee at work was extra strong today, add some extra cream. 20 calories

Bite 4-
Your co-worker made pastry and insists you try even though you already ate breakfast, you just try a very small piece. 70 calories

Bite 5-
Didn't plan on getting a bag of chips, but they were only 50 cents with the sandwich. 130 calories

Bite 6-
You forgot to ask for "no cheese" on your sandwich at lunch, oh well. 100 calories

Bite 7-
Wow there was a lot of garlic on that sandwich, eat 2 mints. 15 calories

Bite 8-
Grab a small chocolate from a co-workers desk, you need energy to deal with your next customer. 20 calories

Bite 9-
Small sample of chicken at the grocery store, it's free...you have to try it! 30 calories

Bite 10-
Two tablespoons of sauce while you are making it, it is a new recipe you have to try it out. 30 calories

There is only 1/4 cup of pasta left, not worth putting it away, it was good so you just finish it. 45 calories


Grand Total: 510 Extra Calories
 
Just think of the weight that could be lost if you avoided just half of these!
