How long to walk off a Big Mac?

bb1fit Posts: 11,105 Joined: 2001/06/30	2006/09/11, 02:38 PM A Big Mac® and large fries are about 1160 calories. It takes about 20 steps to burn one calorie - so it will take around 23,200 steps just to walk it off! At about 2000 steps per mile you will have to walk just over 11 miles for 4 or 5 hours. -------------- Maximus from Gladiator....Strength and Honor!

I'm my biggest critic and I feel less then in the gym when I compare myself to the guys that have been there years longer then me but once I step outside them gym doors I feel 1/2 too 1/3 the size smaller them most around me including WOMEN. I'm 183 pounds standing 1/2 shy of 6 feet tall, I should be bigger then most people but sadly I'm half of most and 1/3 smaller then plenty! Evey year since the 80's food gets bigger and the people too. You see what Burger King considers a GOOD STACK, they even name then burgers stackers from 2 patties upt to 4 or 5! Funny how things are, the guy next to you in the gym seems to be much more then you but once you step outside them gym doors your actually looking really damn good!

Unless you are a total exercise junkie, and even then it is dam near impossible to not change your diet and expect to change your body composition. ============ Quoting from flyonthewall: WoW, kind of puts things in perspective doesn't it! ============= -------------- Maximus from Gladiator....Strength and Honor!

Maybe they should havea walk around the world campaign or something, if you walked continuously you could have a big mac every, what, 11 miles..... but that doesn't even count what it is doing to your arteries, etc. And the amount of sodium and flavoring chemicals..let's not forget the fact that there are more chemicals/carcinogens in Mcd's fries than in cigarettes!

KC_72 Posts: 3,249 Joined: 2006/05/19	2006/09/13, 09:54 AM No I at least ditched the fries...kids don't like them any way...so we just went with the sandwiches...and a coke...if I can save any face...I haven't been to McDonalds in MONTHS!!!!...and we went shopping after for several hours...wasn't speed walking...but I was moving...I really feel bad because I had just read asimmers post about this junk...and went out and did it any way!!!I know....I deserve the fireing squad!!!

It's guaranteed that if I tell myself I won't have a chocolate bar in the afternoon, that I'll be up in the cafeteria by 3 purchasing one...maybe I should start telling myself not to eat veggies:)
