Simply put, too much eating out for dinner, and look at the portion sizes.
I've spent a lot of time in the US living out of hotel rooms. Breakfasts generally have biscuits and gravy (that white gravy that's horrible for you) tonnes of fatty foods. Then when you go out, they give you these gigantic portions. Add to that ordering appetizers and dessert and it's really easy to tell why they're so fat.
