Many people get their BAD calories from their snacks, not their meals. It is believed because it is a simple snack such as 5-6 Oreo cookies, or a bag of chips, that it is nothing…but guess what???? Eating something simple like 1 bag of chips a day, could be the reason why you are not losing weight.
Did you know that there are 120 calories in 2 Oreo cookies? And who only eats JUST 2…I can bet you are going to eat atleast 5 or 6 at a time which is 600-720 calories!!!!! That contains about 100 grams of carbs, 25 grams of fat, 15 grams of saturated fat, about 50 grams of sugar, and only a total of 5grams of protein! I know this sounds kind of silly, but sometimes we put things in our mouths without thinking about it, I bet you have never thought about a Oreo cookie the way you do now! Most women that weigh roughly 120 lbs should be eating 1200-1800 calories to lose weight, all depending on a number things of course including activity level, amount of exercise, type of job ect.
But lets say you should be eating 1400 calories a day to lose 1 lb per week, you just ate half your daily calories in one snack! Think about what you put in your mouth, read labels and understand them. If you should be eating 1400 calories a day, and you are awake from 16 hours a day, you should be eating approx every 2.5 hours, and every meal should be about 240 calories or so…
If you are dieing for snack, have some almonds or peanuts. However, if you are following a diet and eating something healthy every 2.5 hours, you wouldn’t be having cravings, especially JUNK!
