This Calculator Will Show You How Much You Need To Burn From Eating Fast Food

A calculator made specifically to count the number of calories you need to burn after eating fast food is now available online. Obesity is an ongoing problem in the United States and it is only right that individuals find a way to cut down on calories and unhealthy fats that are accumulating in their body.

Although some are now conscious of what they eat, there are still times when a person can't seem to help but eat fast food once in a while. This is when this calculator created by HomeRemedyShop.com becomes handy.

It is a widget built on the site, which means you don't need to download anything like with apps. It is a simple web based calculator that all you need to do is load it on your favorite browser (Chrome or Firefox).

Many will find it pretty cool to use this calculator because its features are easy to navigate. They have sample calorie measurements for every fast food and their respective meals that people usually go to. Take Burger King for example - the site will ask you to enter your current weight followed by the meal that you want to have from the said restaurant like you can pick their chicken meal followed by another item. It will immediately calculate the calories that you are about to consume from your choice of meal and food item.

In an article published by Mashable, they noted that the formula for the calculation of calories made by the site is Calories = METS (calories/kg*hours) x Weight (kg) x Time (hours). This formula shows the amount of energy and time that you need to use in order to have your calorie go back to zero after eating from any of popular fast food restaurant in the country. However, your muscle mass and body fat are not included in the calculation. It is safe to say that this is just an estimation.
