Everyone is allowed a vice. For most of us it is the love of food. While we understand you don’t want to stop yourself from doing what you love the most, we might have a solution that can help you do damage control.A great way to counter those extra calories ingested during an indulgent moment is exercising. However, this does not guarantee that you can eat as much as you want & never gain weight. Exercising regularly and seeing results may encourage you to eat healthier and also help you in decreasing the stress that often leads to emotional eating. The number of calories exercise burns varies according to your weight. The below listed calculations are for someone weighing between 60Kg to 70Kg. So, here you will find a list of popular high calorie snacks which we cannot help but indulge in and religiously get the guilt pangs after consumption. Let’s get started: 

Cafe Latte: 200 Calories. That’s right! 200 is the special number that gets added to your system every time you indulge in a medium sized cafe latte. And this number is without adding any extra flavour or whipped cream to it. Even if you choose a non-fat version of the milk, it still ends up adding up to those many calories. So what do you do when catching up with friends at your favourite coffee place? Well we have the perfect solution for you! Just go ahead and order your cup of pleasure. All you need to do after indulging in one of these is go biking for 30 minutes and any chances of those extra calories making room around your waist will vanish. 

Small Slice of Cake:250 caloriesWho doesn’t absolutely LOVE cake? Yes, we like to have our cake and eat it too!The only teeny little problem with indulging in this is the excess baggage of added calories it comes with. How we would love to see a low calorie creamy cake of our favourite flavour and enjoy it endlessly without feeling guilty. Well as this remains a dream, we do have an alternative plan which will make you burn those cake calories right off after you are done devouring your slice. All you need is a pair of legs and comfortable shoes. Just walk for 50 minutes and all that cake-bulk will melt away. 

Samosa: 300 CaloriesThe yummy little stuffed triangle snacks have high calories written all over it. But while enjoying them we tend to ignore that fact. It’s only afterwards when we start feeling bloated from ingesting the oil and starch rich snack, we end up repenting it. What if I were to tell you that you may go ahead and enjoy one 300 calorie rich samosa without having to worry about the extra weight it is going to add to your body? Well I am not kidding, you actually can indulge in a samosa without feeling guilty if you sincerely dedicate 30 minutes of stairs climbing to your day. The energy required to climb stairs for 30 minutes will burn those 300 samosa calories and leave you feeling healthy and light. And if you already didn’t know this, climbing stairs is a great workout which is super convenient and free of cost as I am sure you can find a suitable flight of stairs around you! 

1 Pint of Beer: 180 caloriesNothing helps you wash over a tough week better than a pint of beer with a few close friends. Beer is a convenient drink even for the weekdays as it is not too strong, gives you an easy high and does not give you a hangover the next day. The only drawback to beer is that it sets you back 180 calories per pint. So you need to be extra careful and keep track of your consumption. A 40 minute moderate intensity session of badminton can help you do damage control of a single pint of beer and it is fun! 

A Single-Patty burger: 500 CaloriesNo matter how health conscious we are, we always end up binging on that one burger after months of resisting. Who can blame us! The burger is such a scrumptious piece of art that we end up convincing ourselves to eat like there is no tomorrow. The problem arrives when tomorrow comes and you feel super guilty for binging out on a burger and adding those unnecessary calories to your body. Well the good news for you is that a one hour session of zumba will evaporate those extra calories and will get you back in shape.Keep in mind that the more you eat these high calorie foods the more effort you will have to put in to burn those extra calories off. So plan your junk cravings around a workout and you should be okay. Enjoy!
