Did you know???-- How many calories are in a pound?

1 pound = 3,500 calories

So, every EXTRA 3,500 calories leads to a one pound gain.

Eliminating 3,500 EXTRA calories leads to a one pound loss.

Remember, your body requires a certain number of calories to function properly. Extra means more than your body needs. To find out your recommended caloric needs, check out www.mypyramid.gov.
