Burning Off High-Calorie Foods: Water Sports Edition

By

Are water sports your activities of choice during the summer months? Along with kayaking trips and stand-up paddleboarding at the beach come trips to the snack bar, clam shacks and barbecues. Find out just how much water play it can take to work off those summer favorites so you can adjust your diet accordingly.

 

Mains & Sides:

 

Lobster Roll = 600 Calories

Hold your breath; that butter- or mayo-drenched lobster sammie will require two hours of snorkeling to work off.

 

Fried Clams = 400 calories

A small order of this fried fave will mean one hour of water skiing for you to break even.

 

BBQ Ribs (Half Slab) = 900 Calories

Craving a huge serving of finger-licking ribs? Plan to kick it for three-and-a-half hours in a paddleboat to expend all those calories.

 

8-Ounce Cheeseburger = 600 Calories

Practice your flip turn! That big fat burger will have you swimming laps (vigorously) for one hour.

 

Pasta Salad = 200 Calories

A large spoonful of mayo-drenched pasta salad demands treading water for 45 minutes. Might be better to stick to a simple green salad.

 

Desserts:

 

Strawberry Milkshake = 820 Calories

Slather on the sunscreen, because a large shake from a popular fast-food joint breaks down to four hours on a body board.

 

Banana Split = 1,000 Calories

Find some friends to split that banana split with. Otherwise, prepare for some waterlogged fingers and toes after four hours of water aerobics.

 

Peach Cobbler = 550 Calories

A fruit-based dessert may seem like a better choice, but this classic summertime dessert still takes 90 minutes of kayaking to burn off.

 

Best Options:

You can still enjoy all those summertime foods, but be smart about portions and steer clear of fatty foods that are fried or soaked in mayo. Bring along low-cal and refreshing fruits and veggies to snack on during your next beach bash, and go easy on the liquid calories while you splash your way through summer.

Post-Workout Coffee Protein Shake

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

If you’re looking for a one-stop shop to organize your digital life, check out Evernote! Here’s my Evernote review and all the great features you can use to make your thoughts, notes, and files easy to find, sort, and save.  This post is sponsored by Evernote .  Raise your hand if your digital life feels cluttered. If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
