My Weekly Calories...

Alrighty so I decided to do a bit more math.

14,889 = My weekly calories to maintain my weight.

500 = Calories needed to burn or take away per day to lose 1 lb per week
3500 = Calories needed to burn or take away per week to lose 1 lb
1000 = Calories needed to burn or take away per day to lose 2 lbs per week
7000 = Calories needed to burn or take away per week to lose 2 lbs

11389 = Weekly calories needed to lose 1 lb per week (1627/day)
7889 = Weekly calories needed to lose 2 lbs per week (1127/day)


Kind of crazy to look at it that way, huh!

So, take 7889 calories a WEEK (1127 calories a day) for a total intake of calories (after working out) into consideration when looking at these foods (These are not foods I've eaten during this, but just something to think about, as lots of Americans eat these foods or foods just like it, or worse, every day):

McDonalds Deluxe Breakfast = 790 calories
Bella turkey burger from Ruby Tuesday (no fries!) = 1,145 calories
Chicken Selects Premium Breast Strips from McDonald's (only 5)= 830 calories
Jamba Juice Chocolate Moo'd Power Smoothie = 900 calories
Quiznos Classic Italian (large)= 1,490 calories
Carl's Jr. Double Six Dollar Burger = 1,520 calories
Lonestar 20 oz T-bone = 1,540 calories
Chili's Chocolate Chip Paradise Pie with Vanilla Ice Cream = 1,600 calories
P.F. Chang's Pork Lo Mein = 1,820 calories
Chili's Honey Chipotle Crispers with Chipotle Sauce = 2,040 calories
Macaroni Grill Spaghetti and Meatballs with Meat Sauce = 2,430 calories
Chili's Awesome Blossom = 2,710 calories
Taco Bell Fiesta Taco Salad = 840 calories
