People have reported gaining 29 pounds on average during the pandemic.
This is according to the American Psychological Association.
About 42% of adults in the United States have reported undesired weight gain.
The gains come from increased stress and bad eating habits caused by the pandemic.
Figuring out and fixing a weight problem may not be fun, but it can be helpful for your future health.
“It’s really helpful, not very exciting, but helpful, to track what you’re eating for about a week. And really put down everything that you’re doing, whether it’s like four ounces of juice or a handful of crackers. And you can kind of see where those extra calories are coming from,” said Sarah Gossett, a Nurse Practitioner with Mayo Clinic Health System.
