Okay I found this on Facebook - Calories you have been caught and we know how to conquer you!!!!

Nourish, Move, Thrive Website (Alberta Milk) just posted this:

"Exercising burns calories but perhaps not as many as you think. Eating calorie-dense foods that offer little nutritional value in a short period of time is easy to do.  It takes only a couple of minutes to eat a glazed donut containing about 268 calories; it takes 30 minutes of jogging at 8 km per hour to burn off those calories."

Working out is essential to strong bones, muscle and heart health but to ultimately see all your hard work at the gym you need to fuel the body properly.  Here is the Alberta Milk link with a great read on how much effort it really takes to burn off those 10 potato chips.  We need to be aware of the mindless calories we sometimes think we are entitled to because we just worked out.  They also have some great tips for pre and post work out foods.
