How many calories burn going to Mass?

Calliope610

I'm Catholic, and surely I should be able to log in the calories I burn every Sunday morning attending Mass. I mean, all that standing, sitting and kneeling adds up to something, right?

sleepytexan

did you light a candle?

None at all. If you want to lose weight try running or join a gym. I would walk to church, dance during worship, and then exersise after church. I'm not sure if you're trying to make a joke or you are just lazy. I mean REALLY people.

vytamindi

It depends. Don't you eat crackers there too?

I don't know, but be sure to log your communion wafer!

Are you for real?

redheaddee

It burns as many as taking a shower plus washing hair. Meaning it has no business counting as exercise.

rosebarnalice

As long as I get to count the calories it takes me to roll my eyes in response.

I agree--do you know how much work it takes to keep your ab/back/thigh muscles engaged while kneeling so that your bum doesn't hit the pew?
Come on, she wasn't seriously thinking she could claim Mass as an exercise. Take a joke, people.

Have you ever heard of a joke?

That's another issue. Do you log the it after the magic makes it becomes pure protein and fat (flesh) or before when it's just carbohydrate?

AlanTuring

Should you log the body of Christ as carbs or protein?

Yes, they're usually in the chit chat, fun and games section :flowerforyou:

Apparently, when some people attempt to lose weight, they also lose their sense of humor.

It's possible to get down to 10% body fat and still be remarkably thick. :P

Good point, my guess would be after.

Hehe this made me LOL. I have family who are Catholic and the whole sit down, stand up, sit down again, stay-where-you-are-you-aren't-a-catholic, stand up, say this, say that, do this, do that confuses the HECK out of me! Fortunately they all seem to find my confusion entertaining.

But doesn't it turn into Jesus? Isn't Jesus perfect? And if He's perfect won't he be calorie free for those of us who need to lose weight??

You're bumping your completely unfunny topic in the diet and weight loss section, someone might be missing much needed advice on how to stay under 500 calories :sad:

You can tell it's completely unfunny based on the fact that there are a lot of people here agreeing with you, and no one else is joining in with the humor.

To stay under 500 calories, definitely no wine during communion.

ThatCatholicGirl

I am actually a practicing Catholic and today at mass I did genuinely wonder how many calories I might be burning with standing and singing, kneeling, sitting, fighting my child to prevent him from wriggling, when you stretch across pews at the sharing of the peace... *grins*

skinnyinnotime

Must be at least 683.

You go ahead and log them, don't listen to these haterz

LorinaLynn

Take some dumbbells and instead of sitting and kneeling and standing, do goblet squats instead. No one will mind, unless you grunt, of course.

The worst part is offering a 'sign of peace' to your neighbour, AKA 'here, please take my germs, stranger'.

*laughs* I'm gonna show myself up as being a bit anal here but I actually have a little pump alcohol gel that I keep in my pocket that I use both before and after the sharing of the peace! Especially in winter all those people coughing and sneezing into their hands... ewww!!!

Did you take communion? Did you fall asleep from the Priests monotone voice? Then wakeup again too realize ery one just saw you sin? Did you worry that if you left your pew, your shoes would make too much noise walking too the bathroom? Congratulations you burned an insane amount of cals having anxiety about church eticate.

No need to worry, the new communion wafers are gulten free, fat free, carb free, sugar free... they're called "I can't believe it's not Jesus!"
