btw here is a great link for anyone wanting to know calorie content in just about every food and drink you can think of, including takeaways such as mcdonalds etc.
it also tells you amount of excersise of different types to do to burn off the calories in that food.

Thanks Icey! ^_^ This seems like a great tool for putting things into perspective. I do however, want to put out a warning. You don't necessarily want to burn off every calorie of everything you eat! Remember that your body requires anywhere from about 1500 - 2200 Calories (kcal) per day to maintain basic body function. (Do you enjoy using your brain? It needs food too!) This number varies depending on age and weight. Here is a fairly good website for figuring that out:

Just make sure you eat healthy, exercise and keep in mind, everything in moderation. Once you get that down everything else comes easier. Speaking of which, I'd love to join the club! Sounds like fun.

im not trying to be a know all but here's a few tips that might come in handy..

when excersising make sure you do it before you eat your main meal of the day,this keeps your metabolism more consistant and it will continue to stay stable and burn on and off throughout the evening. a lot of people think you should excersise after eating thats not true! soon after eating the calores fat fibre and so on is absorbed so excersising with the intention of burning some of those cals is futile.
and rather than drinking water during your work out take an orange and have a segment or 2 from time to time.

during excersise especially cardio you retain too much fluid and salt when drinking water,(no thats nothing to do with salt in water lol, i mean the bodys natural salts such as potassium etc) which will actually slow down your heartrate a little and will make you feel slightly more sluggish, but the orange will refresh you and help keep your sugar levels and energy up.
hope thats of some help.
