Your nutritional horoscope – Times of India

This Women's Day, as you gear up to receive a surprise breakfast fit for a queen or a hastily ordered bouquet of flowers, spend some time on your horoscope. Not on issues that are personal or professional but on those that are nutritional. Although I'm not a soothsayer or savant, I can quite comfortably predict your nutritional future this year. Without knowing you or meeting you, I can safely predict that this year most of you will...

Feel the need to clean plates Of course, I don't mean getting down and dirty or is it clean? with soap and water but eating leftovers. Beware of this obsessive need to "prevent waste" as you eat that last half-roti or those few spoonfuls of rice just so that you're satisfied that all the food is finished. If you continue to do so, you may be looking at a possible 4-5 kilos of weight gain in a year. The math is simple: let's assume that the extra intake of leftover dinner and/or dessert adds up to about 100 extra calories per day, if you are not able to burn it off. If you do this everyday, it totals up to 36,500 unburned calories a year. It takes 3,500 calories to gain a pound of weight, which is about 10 pounds or about 4-5 kilos of weight gained in a year. Quite simply, waste makes waist. Eating to prevent wastage doesn't always guarantee weight gain. But if you are struggling to lose those last few kilos, and not realising where things are going wrong, now you do. Maybe it's time to let the leftovers be. If you cannot finish what's on your plate, it's not your problem - it's the dustbin's or the fridge's.
