How long do you have to exercise to were off a piece of cake?

Answer 1

There are many factors that come into play here. The first is the calorie content of the cake. A simple, small slice of white or vanilla cake will be about 250 to 300 calories. A large piece of cake that has icing, frsoting, filling, or decadent ingredients can easily run up to 1,000 calories or more. The next factor is how you are exercising to burn the cake off. The average person burns about 100 calories per mile they run, and 80 calories per mile they walk (at 3 to 4 mph). Swimming laps at a moderate pace can burn between 200 (freestyle) and 300 (breaststroke) calories per hour. Hiking can burn 400 to 500 calories per hour, and biking can burn about 150 calories per hour going at a moderate to fast speed.
