It's important to remember that what you do all day counts
towards your calories in and out. You are burning calories even when you
are not exercising. There are a lot of little things that you can do that
will add up to pounds off in the end. Parking far away at the stores,
chewing gum, fidgeting, walking the dog, playing with your kids, taking an
after dinner walk. There are endless ways to burn a few more calories a
day, besides eating less or running more.
Make sure your eating plan contains:
-
Appropriate calorie level.
The calorie level of your eating plan should let you lose about 1/2 to 2
pounds per week. This means eating about 300 to 500 fewer calories a day
than the levels needed to maintain weight. You can find out how many
calories are in the foods you eat by reading the Nutrition Facts labels
on food packaging.

-
Enough vitamins and minerals.
It may be hard to get all of the vitamins and minerals you need on a
low-calorie eating plan. If you eat less than 1,600 calories a day, you
may want to add fortified foods such as breakfast cereal to your plan,
or take a daily vitamin and mineral supplement.
-
Enough protein.
If you are a woman aged 19 years and older, you should get about 46
grams of protein each day. If you are a man of the same age, you should
get about 56 grams a day. Enough protein is important to make repairs to
the body and prevent muscle breakdown.
-
Enough carbohydrates.
About 55 percent of your daily calories should come from carbohydrates
like whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. If you eat 1,500 calories a
day, that means eating about 200 grams of carbohydrates. Although
popular low-carbohydrate diets may suggest lower levels, you need at
least 130 grams of carbohydrates each day to prevent fatigue and nausea.

No more than 30 percent of calories, on average, from fat
per day.
Limiting fat may help you limit calories, which in turn may help you
lose weight. Limiting fat to 30 percent of calories would mean that if
you eat 1,500 calories a day, you should eat no more than 50 grams of
fat.

The
Food Guide Pyramid
from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)
can help you make your daily food choices and tell you how many servings
you should eat from each food group to meet your nutritional needs. The
number of servings is based on your age and the amount of physical
activity you do. For more information on the Food Guide Pyramid, see
"Other Resources" at the end of this brochure.
