Thinking of treating yourself to a slice of pizza, or some chocolate ice cream? We all have occasions where we want to indulge, or social situations that almost force us to break our diets. But knowing how much exercise you’d need to do to burn it off means you can regain some of the control over your eating. Here’s a list of some common foods, and how long you would need to run to work them off…

Note: This is a rough guide only. The calorie content of foods will vary amongst different brands, and the exact amount of calories burned through running will depend on your weight, height and speed. In general, these figures are based on an average female at 70kg.
