I could take it personally as it is so close to my age/times/weight, could even cheat and look up what Runkeeper/Fitbit say but I'm guessing 22 mini eggs.
I think I need ju-ju- 's recent trail marathon to burn off the fancy M&S nut embedded job the Easter Bunny is bringing me....
Happy Easter everyone, use it wisely and joyfully!
Oh eck! This reminds me that I had hidden some festive chocs at the back of the cupboard from the series choc thief They are Marks' π±
No! Step away! Get thee behind me. Wanders off to look for diversionary activities, e.g. Trying to find me calculator to work out the egg conundrum. I think it's a trick question π
Well, first off, whose calorie calculator are we using? Garmin tells me I have burnt X number of calories on a 5K run, I know from medical research I did last year where I wore several monitors that I burn nearly twice as many....If we're listening to Garmin I agree with GoogleMe, you can have about 22, if you listen to me you can have twice as many! I know which I would choose!
She would not burn any calories from chocolate mini eggs. She is lactose intolerant and does not eat chocolate. Also, she avoids products containing maltodextrin as this unnecessary thickener has a very high glycemic index and causes unnecessary spikes in her blood sugar levels. Finally she is uncertain of the provenance of emulsifiers E442 and E476 and the colorant anthocyanin.
But mainly it breaks the first rule of weight-loss through running: You are not allowed to eat the calories expended during running.
To protect herself from this she should give them to forum friends who will save her from choco horror by taking on the consumption of said eggs on her behalf!
