Walking Off the Super Bowl Calories
Watching the Super Bowl usually means eating and drinking. I’ll be pre-burning some calories with a morning walk, but probably not enough to keep up with the treats. Here’s an eye-opener on how far you’ll need to walk to burn off the Super Bowl calories.
The calculation depends on your weight and a little bit on speed, so if you want to fine-tune it, use our Walking Calorie Calculator. I will be using a rule-of-thumb of 85 calories per mile, which is 150 pound person walking 4 mph. There are 17.6 football fields per mile.
- Beer 1 bottle: 110 calories = 1.3 miles = 23 football fields.
- Potato Chips 1 oz.: 150 calories per serving = 1.8 miles = 31 football fields.
- Popcorn (microwave butter flavor): 30 calories per cup = 0.4 miles = 6 football fields
- Hot Dog with Bun and condiments: 300 calories per serving = 3.5 miles = 62 football fields.
- Chili: 269 calories per serving = 3.2 mile = 56 football fields.
- Nachos: 336 calories per serving = 4.0 miles = 70 football fields.
- Chicken Wings - 3 oz. serving (3 segments): 190 calories = 2.2 miles = 39 football fields.
