Easier to sell, maybe, but "you can't outrun your fork." is also a false statement, whereas the OP's isn't (so much - at least it's open for interpreation). You can outrun your fork.
run an hour on a treadmill and wipe it out with a single donut.
That's going to be have a pretty huge donut then :P (or I'd have to be running at a rather slow pace)
Not really. One hour on the treadmill burns about 600 calories or so. A cream filled donut the gas station next door to me sells is listed at 630 calories.
I would say a 630 calorie donut is pretty huge. After looking at the calorie info for a bunch of Tim Hortons donuts, the average seems to be around 250 calories.
Sugar (and now HFCS) in everything magnify this problem. I wonder how much calories food would have if manufacturers reduced the amount of sweeteners. Probably makes the food taste worse though.
Weird. I usually burn about 400 kilocals in a 30-minute run on an elliptical machine. Technically, I am programming it to push my heart-rate to the top of the safe "cardio zone", but, well, exercise is all about pushing yourself, no?
How much you burn depends a lot on your body weight. I am small (~55kg) so I burn about 600 kcal/h when jogging. Someone weighing 75kg will burn about 800 kcal/h if he runs at the same speed.
the problem with being pedantic like this is that you just come off as a huge nerd to everyone, even other pedantic nerds. that's why i said "easier to sell", not "technically more accurate."
