There are certain weeks when my “TGIF” attitude carries over to what I eat. This past Friday was a good example of this. I’d worked hard for the past 5 days and when Friday rolled around I was ready to unwind. I met up with some friends and ordered one of my favorite comfort foods\u2014nachos<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

To me, few things feel as good\u2014or bad\u2014as a heaping plate of nachos. You’ve got the crunchy pile of corn chips. The warm black beans and melted cheese. The salsa and, if you’re really lucky, guacamole<\/a><\/strong>. On last night’s order there was even a healthy helping of pulled pork. Delish!<\/p>\n

Luckily I shared the snack\u2014which actually served as dinner\u2014but the calorie count of this one was a real doozy: Somewhere around 1,200 calories for the gooey plate. That means I ate around 600 calories worth of nachos in one sitting. Ouch!<\/p>\n

What are some options for burning off 600 calories of nachos?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I could have done household chores\u2014like painting and moving furniture\u2014for 2 hours and 48 minutes minutes.<\/p>\n

I could have gone on an 84 minute hike<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

I could have taken a high-intensity fitness class for 63 minutes.<\/p>\n
