3,000 calories
Posted by Web Editor on Tue, Nov 18, 2008 at 4:02 PM
That's how many calories are in a typical Thanksgiving meal. Given that people of average size should generally eat between 1,600-2,400 calories per day, this is a pretty hefty meal. One extra slice of pie can send you over the 3,500 calorie mark, and 3,500 is the magic number of calories needed to gain 1 pound! So what's a Thanksgiving-food-loving person to do? Work it off! Here are a few ideas to get you started burning that butter!
Doing each activity for 50 minutes, you can burn...
- 98 calories playing cards
- 225 calories playing ping pong
- 345 calories disco dancing
- 285 calories raking leaves
- 397 calories sledding
- 337 calories shoveling snow
- 202 calories grocery shopping
- 345 calories ice skating
- 457 calories playing touch football with the kids
- 60 calories kissing
