Gizmodo informs us that a McDonald’s restaurant in what I think is the city of Jieyang, China has exercise bikes inside for diners to use while pouring in the high fat food.
Here’s my question: how fast must a person pedal in order to eat a Big Mac and be calorie-neutral? A lot depends on a person’s individual metabolism, but let’s say that vigorous pedaling burns 391 calories per half hour. A Big Mac has 550 calories, so a diner could remain calorie-neutral if eating a Big Mac in 42 minutes while pedaling at high speed.
But I’m not sure that it would be worth the effort.
