    I know. I know. How about if I played Angry Birds AT THE GYM, huh?! Better yet, if I played it while sitting on my *kitten* on a machine! That's gotta burn loads of calories cuz so many do it.

    Hmm... since I'm a math genius, I guess I should do both in the morning under fasted conditions. Definitely Angry Birds at night would sabotage my metabolism causing me to store fat - unless I poop, of course.

    If you're the maths genius maybe you can help me with some as I'm struggling

    I logged all my activites for the week and included washing up and playing angry birds. Total 600,000 calories

    I never eat back my exercise calories so forgot to eat for the week

    A pound is equal to 3,500 calories which meant I lost 170lbs in a week and I only weighed 160 before
    So I now weigh less than zero??? That can't be right surely?

    If I cease to weigh anything at all can I sneak into ladies changing rooms without them seeing me?

    Hey, people actually log cooking and cleaning as exercise. Since they cooked and clean while gaining weight., I highly doubt it helps them loose weight.


    Dang, off to remove household chores from activity log.... :0)

    I dance a funny little jig every time someone on MFP writes 'loose' instead of 'lose'
    I log it as Zumba

    Lol. I noticed some people log their sitting at desk typing as exercise, which sort of strikes me as a bit nutty. I sit here typing most days, and certainly wouldn't consider logging it as activity.

    Heck yeah. Somedays I log my calories burned while I'm logging my exercise calories burned. Then I have to go back and log my typing calories from the logging I just finished. Then, I have to go back and log my typing calories burned from logging the logging of the logging; it's a vicious circle.

    I know you're taking the p*ss...but I have tears from laughing... :laugh:

    Pretty sure it's:

    BMR / 2 + [number of birds launched in a given round] + [number of stars earned] x [number of pigs destroyed] - [number of times your weight shifted while standing] - [number of times a round was repeated until you 3-starred the fkn thing] = calories burned

    Does anybody know how many calories are burned by standing on my feet playing Angry Birds? I am standing so that's good cardio right? And my thumbs are really active, plus I get really pissed went I can't kill all of the pigs my first try so that must raise my metabolism right?
    :huh:

    Probably burns as much as sitting on your *kitten*.

    This reminds me of the person who once asked how many calories she burned while thinking, because goshdarnit, she had a mentally tough job!

    The only difference is that she was serious.

    As for me, I always log the calories I burn playing NHL 13. All of those multiple thumb movements, yelling at virtual refs, and my heart rate jumping up when I give up a breakaway have to at least burn the equivalent of a small personal pizza, right?

    How soon after a round of angry should I drink a protein shake for optimal anger absorption?

    The real question is what do I burn by chucking my phone across the room, sprinting to go get it, and then praying that it's not broken.

    hahahha that's totally me! lol

    Three shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three.
    Four shalt thou not count, nor either count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three.
    Five is right out.

    LOL!

    Banging the halves of a coconut together surely burns enough calories. Just make sure you don't weigh the same as a duck at the end of the day or you're screwed...

    Where can I get this man a trophy for best post on a message board in the history of forums?
