About 95% of the population loves to eat out. Maybe because of the fact that many of the homemade recipes cannot compete with the taste of restaurant made. 'The average diner underestimates his or her calorie count by up to 93 percent when eating out' says the results of a research done by University of Arkansas. Do you know what it means? It obviously means that we intake more calories than we expect to, when eating at restaurants. UK Department of Health Estimated Average Requirements (EAR) are a daily calorie intake of 1940 calories per day for women and 2550 calories for men. But when we eat out, we intake at least thrice the amount of calories that is required for our body. The extra calories take control of our body gradually and after sometime we find ourselves either obese or out of shape.

Though I knew that eating out does not help in maintain weight, I was really in shock when I got the approximate statistics of how we unknowingly fall for these scrumptious recipes which we think are healthy. Here is the Article
