It is very easy for us to consume a lot of calories daily without really thinking about the amount of exercise needed to burn it off. We do not always understand the amount of work needed to burn of the calories that we eat or drink. We understand that a meal can be 350 calories or that a soda can be 200 calories, but how much work does it take to burn that off? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some basic foods and the amount of work that we would need to do in order to cancel those calories out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
