Tip of the Day:
What It Takes to Burn Off a Tablespoon of Mayo
Mayo is an extra that we don't often consider when we're tallying up our calories at the end of the day. But if you're downing five sandwiches a week from the local deli — well, if each has even a bit of mayonnaise, you're racking up the extra calories.
1 tablespoon of mayonnaise: 110 calories
Exercise Equivalents
Walking: 28 minutes
Biking: 16 minutes
Running: 12 minutes
So when you think about it, if you eat five sandwiches a week with a tablespoon of mayo each, that's 550 calories! And if you have to walk almost a half hour extra a day to burn it off, doesn't mustard look — and taste — better right about now?
