How Much Exercise Is Needed to Burn off 2 Pizza Slices? Tanvi Parikh Shares Facts

As we go through the steps to get fit, we pay attention to how many calories we consume and burn. Often we come across videos with information about how much exercise is required to burn what food. Tanvi Parikh busted the wrong piece of information in her latest Instagram reel.

Busting Myths

There has been a lot of interest in a reel that tells how many exercises it will take to consume two slices of pizza. While dispelling the wrong information, Tanvi shared factual support for her argument. People often wonder how many burpees it'd take to burn off a pizza slice. Or how many extra minutes on the treadmill for a creamy dessert? But the digestive system does not work that way.

Science and Human Body

Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) is a scientific term that defines where the calories you burn in a day come from. The exercises discussed in the video make up merely 5 to 15% of the total. This means the most calories burned in a day come from activities other than exercise. As long as the rest of the diet is taken care of, one does not have to earn the food they eat through workouts.

Calorie-Burning Machine

She explained how our body is like a calorie-burning machine. Whether you are working out in the gym or not, it's always on. All the daily activities one does use up most of your energy, from keeping your heart beating to digesting that delicious lunch. A pizza slice cannot ruin your health journey until a balance is created in your diet.
