The sometimes tedious activity of tracking calories has nonetheless yielded some insight into why we're so overweight.
I just had a typical $11 breakfast at a restaurant.
2 eggs over easy
2 pork chops
1 english muffin, cut in halves
2 cups hash browns
Total calories: 980
2 eggs over easy: 140
2 pork chops: 400
1 english muffin, cut in halves: 100
2 cups hash browns: 340
I'm going to guess that this also had:
Zero fiber. Very little vitamins. Lots of sodium. 100% of the carbs are simple carbs that quickly turn into sugar and then into fat if not used for exercise or work immediately after.
Couple this with the sedentary lifestyle that most people have, and it's no wonder that people are so overweight and so unhealthy as well.
