How Many Calories Make Up 1 Pound?


It takes 3500 extra calories to gain a pound.


Therefore…


500 extra calories a day for one week will cause you to gain one pound.


Or…


500 calories less per day for one week will cause you to lose one pound.


If you drink 2 cans of soda daily for one month, you will have consumed 12.2 cups of sugar & 9300 extra calories.


If you drink 2 cans soda daily for a year, you will have consumed 146 cups of sugar & 111,600 extra calories.


Enough extra calories to gain 31.9 pounds in 1 year!


(If you change to water or unsweetened tea you could lose 31.9 pounds in 1 year!)
