[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2181935, member: 365308"] Enjoyed the shipping forecast and Farming Today then silly story from Public Health bahviioural experts which I think they could have saved for tomorrow when they aren't allowed to discuss the election: [URL]https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-50711652[/URL] This perpetuates the idea that the only important thing about food in relation to our weight is it's calorific value. What about nutrients and how processed it is. If you saw a Mars bar with the label saying you had to run 22 minutes to burn it off would it put you off if you eat Mars bars. Even assuming you did not realise that muffins and Mars bars are not health foods, the amount of calories burnt during exercise is in accurate since a fair amount of those numbers you see racking up on a treadmill etc. (about 2/3) are what you would have burnt just sitting on the sofa anyway e.g. 30 minutes running to burn 300 calories means 100 extra calories burnt. I really dislike this way of framing exercise! [/QUOTE]
