Reducing your portion sizes
The sizes of your portions affect how many calories you're getting. Twice the amount of food means twice the number of calories.
It's common to underestimate how much you're eating, especially if you're dining out. Controlling your portions is a good way to control calories.
Answer: 175
Explanation: No. of calories lost in one day = 500
No. of pounds she lost = 5
No. of days she took to lose 5 pounds = 35
No. of calories she burns to lose 5 pounds = 35*500 = 17500
No. of calories she has to burn to lose 25 pounds = (17500*25)/5 = 87500
No. of days she takes to burn 87500 calories = 87500/500 = 175
Thus, she will take 175 days to lose 25 pounds.
