Believe it or not, occasional overeating does not have to make a big impact on body weight. The extra calories can often be offset by exercise or careful choices on other days. But eating extra calories daily is different. Overeating by a consistent 100 calories per day can cause roughly a 10-pound weight gain over a year. That's fewer calories than you'll find in a 12-ounce can of sugared soda, a typical candy bar or a half-cup of regular ice cream. Focus on eating a balanced diet, which is rich in fruits, vegetables and whole-grain products.
