LIQUID CALORIES
Wondering about the extra
calories in our prototypical bad
day? Two words: liquid calories.
The coffees with skim milk and a
teaspoon of sugar, the two soy
lattes (one medium, one small),
the 8-ounce glass of orange juice,
and the 5-ounce glass of red wine
contribute an extra 532 calories to
the day—almost exactly making
up the difference in calories
between our good and bad days.
Most of us don’t think the liquid
calories (or sugar) we’re
consuming “count,” but when
almost 20 percent of your total
daily calories come in a form
that’s not even food ... we’d say
that counts.
