Soup – Calorie Savings
How to Save Food Calories and Lose Weight By Eating Light Soup Intead of Regular Soups
Calorie Savings – Weight Loss – Cream vs. Light Soup
Choosing the right soup is important if you want to lose weight.
Point is, in order to reduce excess fat and lose weight, we need to reduce the amount of calories we consume until it is LESS than our calories-out. Exercise helps us to achieve this (by increasing calories-out) but we can also reduce calories-in by making better calorie choices.
Calorie Example – Cream Soup
- 1 cup cream of chicken soup w/whole milk contains 191 calories.
- Once a week, that’s 9,932 calories, per year
Better Calorie-Choice – Light Soup
- 1 cup chicken noodle Healthy Choice soup contains 56 calories.
- That’s 2,912 calories per year.
Calories Saved
If you substitute chicken noodle for cream of chicken soup in this way, you save 7,020 calories, per year.
Weight Reduction Consequences of this Calorie Saving
7,020 calories per year is the equivalent of 2 pounds of weight.
