Back to "Eat this, Not that". One point this book made that really stood out is that we should think of calories as currency. Would you go to a restaurant and spend your entire daily budget on just one meal? Then why do that with calories? It's very important to be aware of exactly what is going into your body as well as how much energy it takes to burn it off. (300 calories = walking on the treadmill 3.5mph for 40 minutes).
Another very good point is how quickly all the small things add up. 250 extra calories eaten everyday is the equivalent to an extra 26 pounds a year! For so many of us that's a quick trip through Starbucks for a latte every morning.
