Diet Hazards

Here is a great mini article from Ross Chainey. It shows how important it is to make the right choices when eating out. In the article it states that a coffee you grab on your way to work could have 600 calories.

What does this mean in the real world: well just one coffee a day at this rate would add 1 pound of fat to your body every week. It takes 3500 calories over your maintenance intake to add a pound of fat. Seven coffees a week adds up to a staggering 4200 calories a week.

Be honest how many of you have more than 1 a day? Thats many hours in the gym to work that off. If you have to have the coffee try the healhier option go for a small with skimmed milk.
