How many calories???

A fun game you can play is seeing how long it would take you to burn off the calories from that snack that you indulged in. There are many calorie counters on the internet, both for counting your food intake and your energy expenditure. For example a strawberry sundae has about 270 calories, which could be burnt in an hour and 10 minutes if you do some carpentry. Other examples are:

A can of coke: 45 minutes of ten pin bowling

A Budweiser: 15 minutes of painting the fence

A medium-sized pancake with butter and syrup: 30 minutes walking very briskly

A full serving of pad-thai: 1 hour 10 minutes of competitive rowing

An order of onion rings: 35 minutes of intense workout with a punching bag

A taco salad with chili con carne: 25 minutes of bicycling at 15 mph

A danish pastry: 30 minutes of step aerobics

A McDonald's Fillet-o-Fish: 7 hours 30 minutes of vigorous sexual activity
