No sex?

Ok, maybe I read cosmo way too much.... but I thought sex was a good way to burn calories! Shouldn't that be on the activity list??

it is, isn't it? I remember looking it up and thinking... i'm waaaay more active than that, shouldn't it burn more cals?

phew. here it is, i was right.

hehehehe!

:/ to the first one and

LOL! to the 2nd!  I'd hate to have to walk an hour to get to an outhouse!  :D

lol @ butchering meat and walking to an outhouse..

there's one for building an ice-house or something. its pretty funny.

If only they could make a list of how many calories you burn based on positioning...

After all, depending on who's where, doesn't it seem like one person might be at the "vigorous" activity level while their partner's at the "moderate"?

...Or maybe I'm just thinking about it way too much.  ; )

well, nomo, i don't really think butchering animals is funny, since I'm a veg-head. but i do think it's funny that it's listed as an activity. maybe not funny ha-ha, but funny ew.

I think it's hilarious the things that count as activity... walking to an outhouse?? haha

And yeah, they should update the sex thing... get bonus burnt calories for certain things! haha

Ok... walking to an outhouse is 275 calories...

but sex is under 200???

I burn a whole lot more calories than that!

lol, Thats funny I just finished looking at some of the activities list. I didnt see the out house one though, lol. I just brought it to my husbands attention about sex burning calories! He said good idea :)

Did someone say butt sex?

Butchering meat IS hard work.  As a former meat cutter, I'm slightly offended by someone thinking it's easy.  You stand in a 40 degree room and use a heavy knife to slice through thick slabs of meat.  It can be tiring :)

And hey, I think some people overestimate how much they do during sex.  Yeah, you're sweating, but it's not all from work...most of it is from rubbing up against someone who's 100 degrees.  Laying there breathing heavy for 25 minutes isn't a workout :-P

And what about oral sex?!

Does semen have calories?!?!

It is there but I personally think I burn more than that calorie counter claims...ha

I read somewhere that an orgasm uses up calories alone, and logically it makes sense. I wonder how many calories burnt per one? Hmmmmmm. *ponders*

hahahaha

Heck yea, you better believe it burns calories, and I log it in each time in my activity log.  Hey, burned calories is burned calories!  :D  Oh, and according to this article, you burn 200 calories when you orgasm (bottom of page).
