Example……..<br />

If you eat 600 Calories per day (1 large order of fries) above what your energy needs<br />

How long will it take to gain 20 lbs?<br />

Average 150 lbs person needs about 15 calories/pound under normal circumstances<br />

150 lbs x 15 Cal/lbs = 2250 calories per day<br />

To gain 1 lbs…you need an extra 3500 Calories<br />

To gain 20 lbs: 20 lbs x 3500 Calories=70,000 Calories<br />

70,000 Calories/ 600 Calories/day= 116.7 days or about 4 months<br />

How long would you have to walk to burn off those extra 20 lbs?<br />

Assume you burn about 80 Calories/mile<br />

To burn off 20 lbs…need to burn off 70,000 Calories<br />

70,000 Calories/80 Cal/mi= 875 miles of walking will do it!!
