Nutrition Tip
by Jen Reed, Nutritionist Universal Athletic Club
 
Did you know that 3500 calories equals one pound of body weight? If you are trying to lose one pound then that means cutting 500 calories from your diet every day for 7 days or burning an extra 500 calories every day for 7 days. Losing weight is hard to do, so prevention becomes your best friend. Think twice before eating something that isn’t worth the calories, or eating strictly out of boredom. Make the calories you take in count for great taste and great nutrition.
