消耗万圣节糖果的最好方式

Have you ever added up the calories in your favorite Halloween candy? You might be surprised to see how many calories you consume on Halloween night. The numbers aren't pretty. And of course, we often continue to raid the candy bowl well after the holiday is over. So, the total damage can be even more substantial.

To balance out the added fat, you might try to hit the gym and add a few exercise sessions to your regular routine.

But how much extra exercise is enough. Below, find a list of the calorie counts of Halloween candy along with the time it will take for you to burn off the treat at the gym.

Halloween Calorie Counts in Exercise Minutes

Tiny treats like fun-size Kit Kats or those mini bags of M&Ms are relatively low in calories. The problem is that we usually eat three, four even five of them because they're so small. Fun sized calories add up to long hours on the elliptical or Stairmaster.

So how do you burn it all off? The exercise cost of the most popular treats below. The candy workouts don't seem too bad, but keep in mind, that if you eat extra candy, then you need to do extra workouts to maintain your weight. So these activities have to be performed in addition to your regular workouts if you are adding candy to your typical diet.

The number of calories that you burn may be slightly different than the calorie counts listed.

But they are good estimates of the Halloween candy workouts you need to do to keep your body weight stable after you indulge. The exercise estimates are based on the number of calories that a 150 pound exerciser would burn as indicated on the American Council on Exercise activity calculator.

How Long Will It Take to Burn Off Halloween Calories?

You're more likely to stick to the program and you may be able to improve your fitness level to lose more weight while you're at it.
