Calculate total calories consumed and total exercise with calories burned. Use web research to explore low-fat menus and various exercise programs. Compare calories from a healthy homecooked meal to a fast food meal.

Answer 1

Eating fast food once in a while won’t hurt you, but too much of it can cause serious problems. Most fast food contains too many calories, salt and artery-clogging cholesterol to eat every day, or even once a week. Here’s a look at how many calories and grams of fat are packed into fast food. Keep in mind that kids ages 7 to 12 should eat about 2,200 calories per day, while adults should consume around 2,000 calories per day. Exercise levels and current weight can affect these numbers. Note the totals of the single meals at the fast food restaurants comprise almost a full day's calories!

Food	Calories
McDonald’s Big Mac	563
Medium-sized McDonald’s French fries	384
Medium-sized McDonald’s vanilla shake	733
Total for one meal	1,680 calories
Burger King Whopper with cheese	790
Medium-sized Burger King French fries	387
Medium-sized Burger King vanilla shake	667
Total for one meal	1,844 calories
Compare that to a meal prepared at home:
One-half of a roasted chicken breast	142
Medium-sized baked white potato	130
Half a cup of green peas	67
8-ounce glass of 1% milk	102
1 cup of unsweetened applesauce	105
Total for one meal	546

Various excercises burn calories at different speeds. IT also depend on your current weight.

For example, If an 80 kg man does slow cycling for 10 minutes, 84 calories are burnt.

If same person does high impact aerobic dancing for 10 minutes, 98 calories are burnt.

10 minutes of bodyweight exercise burn 49 calories for 80 kg man.

The basic formula for the calculator is:

Total calories burned = Duration (in minutes)*(MET*3.5*weight in kg)/200

where MET is MET (metabolic equivalent for task). So this way we can calculate it for any activity.
