It's a sort of "good-to-know" that puts eating into perspective when trying to balance intake and output. (If you missed this one, check it out here)
If you found the picture useful, then we guarantee you'll want to check out the latest tool developed by Coca-Cola in the UK. It's a great way to "check" yourself before you crack open your next soda can. Marion Nestle (@marionnestle) recently tweeted about the new "Work It Out Calculator" that takes the idea of the picture above and makes it an interactive tool for users.
Here's how it works: You click on the Coca-Cola beverage of choice, say Sprite, and up pops ideas on what you can do--anything from salsa dancing to ironing clothes--and how long you would need to do each activity to burn off the respective calories in the Sprite. Need to stay inside due to rain? They have indoor options for that. Hanging around with family? More ideas there too. We really don't think you can come up with an excuse NOT to work off what you drink. The website also offers information on calories, nutrition, and physical activity for readers to check out. Think you might be interested? Try it out and tell us what you think!
