Calories: Tandoori Chicken vs Butter Chicken
by amit on Nov 10, 2006 05:41 PM  | Hide replies

Hi, thanks for the article. But I have a doubt.

You said:
Tandoori Chicken (one piece) - 273 calories (7 gm fat*) = 22 minute climb up the stairs

AND

Butter Chicken (one big katori) - 391 calories (25 gm fat*) = 33 minute climb up the stairs.

How is this mathematically/practically possible that while for burning 7gm fat, u need a 22 minute climb up the stairs, while for burning 25 gm fat (7*3times+!!), you just need a 33 minute climb up the stairs..?

Shouldn't it be something like 22*3 = 66 minutes climb up the stairs at least..?

Kindly explain..

regards,
Amit.

Hi,

If you notices, then they have quoted total calories and fat quantity. When you eat some food, you get energy( or even excess energy) from it. If i eat a boiled potato and you eat the same boiled potato with some butter added for taste then my table will be something like Potato (430 Cal) 0 gram fat and yours will be like Potato(430 Cal) and 10 gm fat (100 calories). so you need to walk longer to spend it. Its not only fat that has calories, sugars, alcohol, carbohydrates all have calories

Hello
thanks for the explaination.

Please clarify my understanding.
Following ur explaination, it means that Tandoori chicken contains more calories (273- 7gm fats*10) ~200 than the butter chicken (391-25*10) ~140.
Is it the case?

Can u please tell us starving the next day after a heavy high calorie meal stores the calories instead of burning them up? Many thanks

next day is a long time, but if the gap of your meal time increases the same day, body starts storing. hence DO NOT SKIP MEALS, AVOID FASTING OR FEASTING....
