20 Easy Ways to Cut 100 Calories From Your Day http://ift.tt/1lvA2x1


You can't keep eating the same way and expect to lose weight. As tough as that fact is to swallow, it's true. You've got to cut out or burn a total of 3,500 calories a week, which breaks down to 500 calories a day. Exercise can only burn so much (a 30-minute run equals about 250 calories), so you've got to cut out the rest in your diet. Every little bit helps so here are 20 ways you can ditch 100 calories from your day.
