Simple Math

Despite what countless self proclaimed experts

will tell you, body weight management is a

matter of really simple arithmetic.

Calories In = Calories Burned + Calories Stored

Written another way (your grade 6 teacher used

to say that, didn’t she).

Calories In – Calories Burned = Calories Stored

So if it is that simple why is it so

difficult?

• Studies have shown that humans tend

to underestimate their food

consumption and overestimate their

exercise.

• We also believe that we are eating

healthy foods that may be healthy but

they also contain a lot of calories.

Balderdash You Say! Take a

Look Below.

Food item Amount Fat (g) Calories (kcal)

Almonds 24-28 whole dry roasted (1 oz) 15 170

Walnuts 15-20 halves (1 oz) 16 175

Roasted peanuts 30 large 14 165

Soy nuts ¼ cup (1 oz) dry roasted 6 130

Peanut butter 2 tablespoon (1 oz) 17 210

Mayonnaise 2 tablespoon (1 oz) 22 200

Blue cheese dressing 2 tablespoon (1 oz) 16 150

Ranch dressing 2 tablespoon (1 oz) 18 180

Olive Oil 2 tablespoon (1 oz) 28.5 256

Polish sausage 4 oz 32 360

Our Point is This…

• We all know that Polish sausage is

not something that healthy dieters

eat; but what about those almonds

that may be full of omega 3’s but...

• Ounce for ounce almonds contain

twice as much fat and calories as

Polish sausage.

• Now there’s a revelation!

I only put a little olive oil on my

salad.

• Yeah, we get that a lot.

• 1oz of nuts and an ounce of olive oil

and you have a “healthy” salad with 45

grams of fat. That’s ½ of the average fat

consumption of a typical daily diet.

1oz of almonds sure

doesn't look like much!
