Having access to a box of doughnuts this week, my temptation overcame my willpower and I had no choice but to eat three of them. We also have a skipping rope in the office, and I was curious to know how many skips I would need to burn off the calories from these doughnuts. Assuming a glazed doughnut has 200 calories, and a skip burns 0.1 calorie, I'd need to get through an astounding 6,000 skips before my guilt is gone. At one skip a second, that would take a solid hour of agony.

Alternatively, sleeping uses about 55 calories per hour, so you could sleep for 10 - 11 hours instead :)
ReplyDeletePerhaps the effort of eating uses calories. Would that work?
