Chocolate bunny leftovers

Posted on Mar 26th 2008 11:56AM by Chris Sparling

For those of you who just celebrated the Easter holiday, there's a good chance that you have a chocolate bunny or two still lying around. The question now becomes, how long can you go without eating it?

Just in case you had any intention of caving, here are some quick stats that will likely make you change your mind.

A 6oz Solid Chocolate Easter Bunny contains 920 calories. Remember that figure. 920 calories.

To burn that many calories, you would have to do one of the following exercises (based on a 175 pound person):

  • 70 minutes of Step, high-impact aerobics
  • 70 minutes of running at 6mph
  • 70 minutes of jumping rope
  • 70 minutes of water polo
  • 70 minutes of competitive racquetball
  • 70 minutes of boxing, sparring
  • 140 minutes of softball
  • 140 minutes of walking at 4.5mph
  • 140 minutes of whitewater rafting
  • 210 minutes of Frisbee
  • 210 minutes of volleyball (non-competitive)
  • 210 minutes of weight lifting (general)

How harmless is that little, 920-calorie chocolate bunny now?
