WOW Tip of the Week: Energy In = Energy Out

This all sounds good, this perfect equation of energy in = energy out.  But the fact of the matter is, most of us have too much energy (food) going in and not enough energy going out (how much we burn).  This is mostly due to too large portions and lack of physical activity.

Here is a peek at calorie content of some common foods and the amount of energy it takes to burn off those calories.

9 minutes of walking to burn off 12 carrots versus 60 minutes of walking to burn off a donut.

This poster is hanging in the wellness office for those that want to take a peek in person.
