How fit is your family?

Last week or so I came across an article in the Webster Post
“How fit is your family?”
by ANN MCARTHUR.
Check it out!

In this article there was a reference to we can!  Ways to Enhance Children’s Activity & Nutrition

We Can!™ or “Ways to Enhance Children’s Activity & Nutrition” is a national program designed for families and communities to help children maintain a healthy weight. The program focuses on three important behaviors: improved food choices, increased physical activity and reduced screen time.

The section that I am thrilled to pass along to you is the idea of Energy Balanace.  This seems like a simple concept, but we often forget.

The same amount of ENERGY IN and ENERGY OUT over time = weight stays the same
More IN than OUT over time = weight gain
More OUT than IN over time = weight loss
