As Albert Einstein definitely said, "For every cheeseburger ingested, an equal and opposite cheeseburger must occur somewhere." What Einstein knew intuitively was that diet matters; what goes in must go out, or else it will turn into love handles. That's just science.

So we decided to look at the number of calories in some commonly consumed foods and drinks, and evaluate how many steps (and miles) it would take to walk off those calories. We used an average of 2,000 steps for a mile, and about 89 calories burned per mile walked. No, these are not perfect measurements; yes, these estimates will depend on your height, weight, gender, atmospheric conditions, etc.

Next time you're thinking of grabbing an on-the-go meal, better make sure your boots were made for walking.
