Eating Calorie-dense Foods Need Double or Triple your Normal Workout Effort

Stick with Portion Sizes Even While Eating Out

A quick workout can burn off the excess calories added to our body due to the pizza slice at our office luncheon or the chocolate cube that we consumed as a comfort food-this mindset is entirely wrong and the calories in every junk food that you consume need hours of physical activity to burn them off.
​
Listed below are the number of calories present in the most common junk foods that we carelessly consume every now and then, and the amount of exercise needed to get rid of all those calories:

Food	Calorie Value	Walking	Running
Soft drink (330 ml)	138	26 min	13 min
Regular chocolate bar	229	42 min	22 min
Chicken & bacon S/W	445	1 hr 22 min	42 min
1 slice of large pizza	449	1 hr 23 min	43 min
Medium mocha coffee	290	53 min	28 min
One packet of crisps	171	31 min	16 min
Dry roasted peanuts (50g)	296	54 min	28 min
Blueberry muffin	265	48 min	25 min

A quarter of the people consuming these foods underestimate their calorie value by at least 500 calories. It is better to restrict these high-calorie foods to special occasions. After reading this, I am sure many of you would plan to double your workout time if in case you consume any of these high-calorie foods. If you would like to follow a calorie-restricted diet for weight loss or if you want to become conscious of the calories that go into your meal every day, get in touch with a nutritionist/dietitian at www.firsteatright.com who can help you plan a healthy diet plan.
