Girl Scout Cookie Time

It's that time of the year when all the little Girl Scouts and their moms are either knocking at your door or at the doors of the grocery store trying to get you to buy the goodies! We all have our favorite kind- no use of denying that! But when we actually broke down what you would have to do to work off those few seconds of heaven it makes you think twice! Here are a few of our favorites here at the clinic and what we have to do after we've indulged!

Samoas (the really yummy ones with Carmel and coconut and chocolate!)
Serving size is 2 cookies
8 g of fat
150 calories
19 g of carbs

Tagalongs (peanut butter with chocolate)
Serving size is 2 cookies
10 g of fat
150 calories
14 g of carbs

Thin Mints (need I say any more?)
Serving size is 4 cookies
8 g of fat
160 calories
22 g of carbs

This is based off of a 165# person- so mind you this is just a really rough estimate of what would need to be done! And also doing these activities for 60 minutes. Running is considered an 11 minute mile.

Sitting for 1 hour 56 minutes
Standing for 1 hour 25 minutes
Walking for 43 minutes

Strength Training 29 minutes

For Thin Mints

Standing for 1 hour 33 minutes

So before you fork over the cash stop and think how much it really is worth it to you!
