A study in the Annals of Epistemology reports that the typical male in Americas society consumes an extra 453 calories between Friday evening and Sunday evening. In terms of watching your diet, no matter how good you might be Monday through Friday, if you’re like most men, you ease up a bit starting on Friday night, straight through the weekend. Arguably, this is worse during the football season in winter and many men are indoors watching college football on Saturday and pro football on Sunday.

Those 453 extra calories per weekend, times 52 weeks adds up to you guessed it, 23556 more calories in the course of the year. If you’re able to cut your calorie consumption during the weekend, while still maintaining your relatively good habits on weekdays, you’ll have it made.

Forewarned is forearmed.
