Very interesting calorie increases by "Supersizing"

I found this very interesting - What looks like a financial bargain is not a bargain to our waist!!

Here’s exactly how expensive it really is whenever you go for the “bargain”:

* 7-Eleven: Gulp to Double Gulp Coca-Cola Classic: 37 cents extra buys 450 more calories.
* Cinnabon: Minibon to Classic Cinnabon: 48 more cents buys 370 more calories.
* Movie theater: Small to medium unbuttered popcorn: 71 additional cents buys you 500 more calories.
* Convenience store: Regular to “The Big One” Snickers: 33 more cents packs on 230 more calories.
* McDonald’s: Quarter Pounder with Cheese to Medium Quarter Pounder with Cheese Extra Value Meal: An additional $1.41 gets you 660 more calories.
* Subway: 6-inch to 12-inch Tuna Sub: $1.53 more buys 420 more calories.
* Wendy’s: Classic Double with Cheese to Classic Double with Cheese Old Fashioned Combo Meal: $1.57 extra buys you 600 more calories.
* Baskin Robbins: Chocolate Chip Ice Cream, Kids’ Scoop, to Double Scoop: For another $1.62, you’ve added 390 calories.

The bottom line on all this? For just a hair more than 8 bucks, you’ve bought yourself an additional 3,620 calories. If you ate each of these once a week, and you were to switch to the smaller size each time—again, still all your favorite foods, just in a more reasonable size—you’d save about $417 a year. It’s not going to buy you a new car, but it could put you on a plane to the Bahamas. But far more important than that is what it will mean to your waistline, because in saving that $417, you’ll also save 188,240 calories in a year—enough to shave a whopping 54 pounds of flab off your body! (Hey, take the 400 bucks and buy some new pants!)
