Calorie Burn Off Times For Favorite Foods - How Long It Takes
- 6 years ago
On average, adults and kids thought they ate 175 calories fewer than they actually did, and teens were off by 259 calories. (When the survey was conducted, none of the chains were posting calorie counts on their menus, which included McDonald's, Dunkin Donuts, KFC, and Subway.) However, in another study from Texas Christian
University, researchers used food menus listing the number of minutes it would take to walk off the items and found those may help people make healthier choices. So: Can you guess how much exercise you'd need to work off the following?
Subway's 6-inch Double Roast Beef Sub, Veggie Delite Salad with Fat-Free Italian Dressing, and medium Iced Tea--- Jog for 57 minutes and you'll burn off this 455-calorie meal.
Wendy's plain Baked Potato and small Chili--- It would take two hours of weight lifting to burn off this 460-calorie fast-food meal.
McDonald's Mighty Kids Meal of Double Cheeseburger, French fries, and chocolate milk--- This kids' meal, which is 840 calories of fast food, would take a solid 4 hours and 3 minutes of frisbee-playing to burn it off.
Domino's slice of medium cheese pizza--- To burn off just one of the 210-calorie slices, it would take 22 minutes of biking at 12 to 14 miles per hour.
If you watch the number of calories you're consuming, you probably think a quick workout is enough to offset the occasional fast food binge.
But that isn't necessarily the case, according to a chart from the UK's Royal Society for Public Health, which shows how long you need to exercise to burn off the calories you take in from popular junk foods.
For example, if you eat a quarter of a large pizza containing 449 calories, you would need to walk for 1 hour and 23 minutes or run for 43 minutes to burn it off. For a bar of milk chocolate with 229 calories, you would need to go on a 42-minute walk or a 22-minute run.
