Eat to Win!!


Now that’s it's football season your Sundays, Mondays and some Thursdays will be filled with touch downs, terrible calls by referees and your favorite burger. As we embark on the best 16 weeks of the year it's important to be mindful of our energy needs. Translation: we need to eat to win to combat obesity!!

No more than 30% of your daily calories should come from fat. Your specific fat allowance will vary depending on your calorie need. Most adult women should consume a range of 1,600- 2,000 depending on age and physical activity level. The average adult male should have between 2,000-3,000 also depending on factors such as age and physical fitness. No matter the case, it’s important to know how much you are consuming. Numbers are important during football season, right?


Below is a list of the three highest calorie laden burgers:
1. The Ruby Tuesday Colossal Burger has 2,014 calories. Yikes!!
2. Chili’s Smokehouse Bacon Triple Cheese Big Mouth Burger with Jalapeno Ranch Dressing has 1,901 calories
3. Outback Steakhouse Blooming Burger has 1,880 calories


Each burger has an entire day’s supply of calories for any adult. Keep in mind this doesn’t include snacking between quarters or any beverages. To stay healthy question the play and ask how much or how many calories you are consuming.
