Depending on your age, activity level, and current weight, most people have 150 to 250 "expendable" calories to waste on eating junk food. This includes not only cakes, pies, and candy bars (which usually have more than 250 calories) but also empty-calorie beverages such as soda, sweet tea, and fruit drinks.
