The International Food Information Council Foundation declares that 47% of Americans overestimate now many calories they should eat per day. One formula for figuring this out how much to eat per day and to loose 1 lb. per week, is to take your weight X11.
Most people try to loose weight by changing how much they eat or what types of foods. Over 60% try by exercising. 44% try to loose weight by changing how often they eat, and 19% try to loose weight by counting calories.
