"Also, picking on donuts in the break room and grabbing a mini candy bar here and there is another way to add calories and fat to your day without even thinking about it. Try writing down everything you eat for a full week, EVERYTHING, and you'll quickly see where the hidden fat and calories are in your diet!"

Food isn't the only thing we need to be concerned about. Did you know that drinks often have more fat than the hamburger you so carefully passed up for lunch? Next time you think you're being healthy by ordering a Jamba Juice smoothie, you might want to check for the 30g of fat and the 1,170 calories found in the Peanut Butter Moo'd Power. Hungry Girl suggests keeping all your beverages around 50 calories or less. People often down 4-5 cups of coffee with milk and sugar thinking these beverages are calorie-free and they aren't."
