If the average calorie intake for women is truly 1800 per day, then we must be totally a nation of slugs, because there is no way the rate of obesity could be increasing as fast as it is if women were truly only eating 1800 cal/day. I am a thin person, about 5-10 lb. underweight, and I eat about 2000 cal/day to maintain that. There is no way American women average 1800 cal/day. -- Anna Meenan, MD At Wed, 18 May 2005, Dr. Ainsworth wrote: > > Food intake analysis shows an increase in calories >since 1990 is due to increased consumption of grain products, certain >soft drinks and alcoholic beverages.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
