Love fast food Work out hard to avoid obesity!

Fast food nutrition should make up a minimal part of a healthy diet. Fast foods and junk foods are high in fat, sodium and sugar, which can lead to obesity and a range of attendant health problems, including diabetes, heart disease and arthritis.
New Harvard research found that 25 percent of people surveyed underestimated their fast-food intake by at least 500 calories. When the survey was conducted, none of the chains were posting calorie counts on their menus, which included McDonalds, Dunkin Donuts, KFC, and Subway. However if you can’t avoid them, can you guess how much exercise youd need to work off the following?
McDonalds Mighty Kids Meal of Double Cheeseburger, French fries, and chocolate milk
This kids meal, which is 840 calories of fast food, would take a solid 4 hours and 3 minutes of Frisbee-playing or two hrs aerobics or two hrs cycling 10 mph to burn it off.

Dominos slice of medium cheese pizza
To burn off just one of the 210-calorie slices, it would take 22 minutes of biking at 12 to 14 miles per hour or 25 minutes aerobics.

Cosi: Bombay Chicken Salad with a tall cafe blend coffee
If you want to work off this 481-calorie meal with moderate intensity sit-ups, youd need to go non-stop for 93 minutes or 1hr 15 minutes of aerobics.

KFCs 3 Crispy Strips with Green Beans and 3-inch Corn on the Cob, and a medium Diet Pepsi

This 475-calorie meal can be worked off with one hr aerobics or playing badminton for 1 hrs and 25 minutes.

(Note: All calculations are based on a 150-pound person. Exercise equivalents are rough estimates; actual results may vary based on weight and intensity.)
