Now that was a CHAMPIONSHIP effort today!
We have been duly impressed with the efforts here in our 3rd week of camp! Boy, it’s so awesome to watch how much your fitness has advanced over time!
Speaking of championship, here’s some interesting Super Bowl Eating Trivia …
Did you know that the Average American eats approximately 1500 calories during the Super Bowl game? That’s not counting calories before the game.
When you consider that most women who are striving to lose weight, 1500 calories is generally a good number to shoot for on most days (+ or -).
The calculation begins with your basal metabolic rate (number of calories you burn for 24 hours at complete rest – most women are between 800 – 1100 resting metabolic rate) + daily caloric needs + daily exercise calories = number of daily calories that you burn in a day.
If you want to figure out YOUR precise number, download this Gold Standard Calculator (it’s an excel file created by us): http://www.cincinnatifitnessbootcamp.com/CalorieCalc.xlsx .
The calculator gives you the maintenance, 1-pound lost per week and 2-pounds lost per week calorie numbers.
Note, we’re using the Harris Benedict Equation – it’s widely considered by science as the MOST accurate formula. Please avoid rushing out to the internet to use other’s calcuations … they tend to be WAY off.
The formula is straight forward, yet over the years the greatest challenge in helping others lose excess body fat is getting to the calorie deficit. And it’s not that people aren’t trying, it’s just that it’s difficult to really know how many calories you’ve burned during the day and how many you’ve consumed.
But not anymore!
The BEST tool I’ve ever found that solves this dilemma is the bodybugg arm band (as seen on the Biggst Loser). It’s simple. You tell the bugg what your goal is, what you’re eating, then it keeps you up to date on your progress. Very effective. Click here for a short video demo.
And right now we’re offering a handful of bodybuggs for a 4-week rental program. For more information, you can email Jennifer, our certified bodybugg coach.
Back to the Super Bowl. Here are some interesting facts on food consumption:
- 8 million pounds of guacamole are consumed.
- Nearly 15,000 tons chips are consumed (yes, that’s TONS of chips)
- Super Bowl is officially the biggest eating “holiday” of the year, recently surpassing Thanksgiving in some research
- Its estimated that $50 million is spent on Super Bowl Sunday food alone
Now if you look at the Super Bowl as part of your 10% when you relax the rules, perfect. When you follow the 90/10 eating principle, you can certainly enjoy special occasions with friends and family.
When you have a big eating day, the key is that you simply get right back on track with healthy eating habits the next day.
And if you’re looking for healthier Super Bowl snack options, we have several you can get on the ABC facebook page (by clicking the “Notes” tab at the top left menu bar).
Oh, before I let you go today (and to avoid another email from me
