24. 3. We drink too many of our calories!

25. 4. We don’t get enough exercise
For Children and youth aged 5–17, the World Health Organizations recommends at least 60 minutes of moderate-vigorous intensity physical activity daily. Amounts of physical activity greater than 60 minutes provide additional health benefits. Most of the daily physical activity should be aerobic (exercise that promotes the circulation of oxygen through the blood and is associated with an increased rate of breathing. Examples include running, swimming, and bicycling).
For adults, to improve overall cardiovascular health, the American Heart Association suggests at least 150 minutes per week of moderate exercise or 75 minutes per week of vigorous exercise (or a combination of moderate and vigorous activity). Thirty minutes a day, five times a week is an easy goal to remember.

Late night snack- 1 bag of microwave popcorn

37. Be sure to multiply calories by serving per container!
Kraft Macaroni and Cheese-Multiply calories by 3 since there are 3 servings per box and he ate the whole box!
