If you are planning a weight loss diet, before you rush into your favorite fast-food place, take a look at what you are really going to be eating! You might start to rationalize, “There’s lettuce on it, it’s only a hamburger, how many calories could be in that? How bad could it be?”

Well, here are some of the real numbers. The fast food fact is that there are not many choices in fast food restaurants that will support your weight loss diet. Brace yourself and make sure you know what you are getting into before you eat. We reveal the true numbers to keep your calories in line.

Why should we be counting calories anyway?

Before we can begin to assess our diet and find ways of losing weight, gaining weight, or maintaining a healthy weight we must first recognize how many calories per day we need to fuel our bodies.

Keep in mind that calorie expenditure varies with age, gender, and body weight. The lighter you are the fewer calories you need. Also take into consideration your level of activity. If you do a lot of exercise, or have a job that is very active, like a waitress or a builder you will need more energy. If you work in an office, you require less. We need more calories when we are younger and less as we get older.

We all have bad days where we eat greasy food and drink too much, but try and make this less often and try to eat a healthy balanced diet on most days. If you are careful most of the time you can get away with having a bit of a treat, perhaps on the weekend!

How many calories do I need to burn to lose 1lb?

1lb is the equivalent to 3500 calories. You can lose 1lb by either eating fewer calories than usual or burning them off with exercise. When dieting it is sensible to aim for a loss of no more than 1-2lbs per week — losing weight slowly makes it easier to keep it off!
