Big fast food chains in New York City have started to obey a first-of-its-kind rule requiring them to post calorie counts right on the menu.

We get a fairly large portion of calories from fast food and snacks.

There have been half-hearted but well-publicized efforts by some food companies to reduce calories in their processed foods, but the Standard American Diet is still the polar opposite of the healthy, mostly plant-based diet that just about every expert says we should be eating.

Nearly two-thirds of us grab fast food once a week, and we get almost 25% of our daily calories from snacks.

If you eat three meals a day and behave like most Americans, you probably get at least a third of your daily calories outside the home.

Cooking real food is the best defense—not to mention that any meal you're likely to eat at home contains about 200 fewer calories than one you would eat in a restaurant.

Big fast food chains in New York city have started to obey a first-of-its-kind rule requiring them to post calorie counts right on the menu.

People who prioritise breakfasts tend to have lower calorie but higher nutritional intake.

Starting last Saturday, chains big enough to fall under the rule will face penalties of up to 2, 000 dollars for not showing calorie information in a prominent spot on their menus, preferably next to the price.

The researchers argued that breakfast helps reduce daily calorie intake and improve the quality of our diet—since breakfast foods are often higher in fibre and nutrients.

Sports drinks which are often high in sugar and calories made up most of the food and drink deals, with soft drinks and fast food filling out the reminder.

Of the 46 beverages endorsed by professional athletes, 93 percent relied exclusively on sugar for all of their calories.

This means that there could be an extra three billion mouths to feed by the end of the century, a period in which substantial changes are anticipated in the wealth, calorie intake and dietary preferences of people in developing countries across the world.

After you exercise, you continue to burn calories throughout the day.

If you work out in the mornings, then you will be getting the calorie burning benefits for the whole day, not in your sleep.

People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories per meal than those who rush through their meals.
