Calories In Don't Always Equal Calories Out


A gym friend of Linda's found out how much she loves carrot cake. As a treat, he bought her a giant slab of carrot cake and two cups of whipped cream from the Cheesecake Factory. Jeff showed up for Body Pump class yesterday toting a shopping bag with the cake inside. What a nice surprise! The slice of cake is honestly bigger than I am. I bet Chimmie could eat it all in 2 minutes flat. Linda looked up the nutrition information on the Cheesecake Website. The slice has 1,549 calories. It would take her almost 4 whole hours of Body Pump to work it off. A few weeks ago, another friend stopped by her house with a slab of 5-layer dark chocolate cake from PF Changs. Maybe the guys are trying to fatten her up.
