A trip to the coffee shop can add hundreds of /*calories*/. Even if you order a fat free, no whip beverage, you could be adding 200-300 calories to your cup. A grande nonfat, no whip mocha yields 220 calories.
Then there are the mini meals, or samples, at the market. From /*Costco*/ to the deli or bakery, having a bite of cheese or a bit of a muffin can tack on 125 calories more.
Checking e-mail often means a time to munch. A couple handfuls of nuts, albeit heart healthy, provides 340 calories if you're not watching.
Feeding kids or making a box lunch are both /*diet*/ killers. What your child leaves on his or her plate should not be finished off without a thought. One chicken nugget is 95 calories and a spoonful of mac n' cheese adds another 50, for a total of 145 calories.
All told, if this was your day, you would have consumed an extra 830 calories, more than one meal's worth and that's not counting breakfast, lunch or dinner.
So if you're really serious about watching your weight, make it a rule that nothing goes in your mouth unless you are sitting down and paying attention to it.
