As a fitness and nutrition expert, I can provide you with an estimate of the energy expenditure required to burn off a single M&M candy.

M&M's are small, but they pack a caloric punch due to their high sugar and fat content. A standard M&M weighs about 1.7 grams and contains approximately 7 calories. The number of calories burned while running depends on various factors including your weight, running speed, and metabolism.

To give you a rough estimate, let's consider a person weighing 150 pounds (68 kg) running at a moderate pace of 5 miles per hour (mph). At this pace, a person might burn around 600 calories in an hour. To find out how many minutes it would take to burn off 7 calories, you would divide the total calories burned in an hour by the number of calories you want to burn off:

600 calories / hour ÷ 7 calories = approximately 85.7 minutes

So, it would take about 85.7 minutes of running to burn off the calories in one M&M for someone weighing 150 pounds running at 5 mph. Keep in mind that these numbers are approximate and can vary based on the individual's specific circumstances.

One M&M is approximately three calories and in order to burn off those three calories, you would need to walk or run the length of one football field or 100 yards.read more >>
