Topic Reading-Vol.1298-10/31/2015

Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
How far do you have to run to burn off a burger?
Calorie intake versus calorie burn-out. How much do you know or care? If you regularly burn more than what you eat and digest, you never have to worry about your weight. But just for you to know, if you have a BigMac and small fries, you get nearly 700 kilocalories, about equivalent calorie served in popular meals such as Japanese lunch or dinner, or Chinse noodles with meat. The question is how much exercise is needed to burn that energy. It varies by person, especially the weight and age, but on average it takes an hour of cycling or fast running. That sounds quite a task for a 10-minute munching, doesn’t it?
You may also be interested to know how much energy is consumed in other day-to-day activities such as chewing, reading or sitting.
Enjoy reading and learning how efficient certain activities are to make someone fit.
