Synopsis: List of various foods and drinks showing how many calories they contain and how long it would take to burn off those calories if you do certain exercises such as running, cycling, swimming, walking etc.. Always remember variety is the key for a healthy body. It's not entirely about the calories in your food, but the quality of your food. In order to lose one pound of weight, you need to burn off, or cut out from your diet, 3,500 calories.
Introduction
Exercise is definitely a very important factor for achieving, and maintaining, a healthy lifestyle in today's world - and exercising DOES burn calories, but there is a common misconception regarding just how long it really does take to burn off the calories equal to the calories you just consumed from a meal, snack or drink.
Main Item
Disabled World has assembled this list of various foods and drinks to show you just how long it takes to burn off those seemingly harmless calories by performing exercises such as running, cycling, swimming, treadmill walking etc.
The Dieters Pitfall
Exercise alone will not help you reach your weight loss goals!
The Human Body Likes Consistency
If you cannot adapt to your new dieting style of eating for the long-term, any results you see will not be maintainable. Always remember variety is the key for a healthy body. It's not entirely about the calories in your food, but the quality of your food.
In order to lose one pound of weight, you need to burn off, or cut out from your diet, 3,500 calories. There is no easy way to lose those extra pounds of weight you are carrying around except by choosing, and sticking to, the right diet and getting regular exercise to raise your metabolism level.
Calorie Calculations
The approximate calculations chart below are loosely based on a person of weighing around 150 pounds.
Note: Calorie burn varies according to your gender, age, weight and metabolism!
- If you weigh less, it will take more time to burn the same amount of calories.
- If you weigh more it will take less time to burn the same amount of calories.

Quick Calorie Facts
- This calorie consumption chart shows that there just is not enough time in a 24 hour day to work off an unhealthy bad diet!
- The first place to start when you look at the nutrition facts label is the serving size and the number of servings in the package.
- It is important to remember that every calorie you consume throughout your whole day can quickly add up, so spend less time exercising by consuming fewer calories in the first place!
Did you know - The name calorie is used for 2 units of energy.
a) The small calorie or gram calorie (symbol: cal) is the approximate amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius.
b) The large calorie, kilogram calorie, dietary calorie, nutritionist's calorie or food calorie (symbol: Cal, equiv: kcal) is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius.
We burn calories to give the body energy for 3 main functions:
- Basic Metabolic Rate: The rate the body uses to burn calories throughout the day - even when you are not doing anything. For most people, this rate accounts for about 60% of calories burned in a day. You can calculate your basal metabolic rate (BMR) here.
- Burn Calories during Activity: The rate the body uses to burn calories during activities. This does not only refer to exercising or working out. This rate accounts for about 30% of calories burned by an average person. See our daily calorie calculator (for both male and females), to assist in weightloss goals and pre-diabetes.
- Dietary Thermogenesis: The effect produced when the body heats up as it takes in food. The body has to work to eat, absorb, use and digest food. This is the final 10% of calories burned for most people.
