Tip of the Day:
What It Takes to Burn Off Macaroni and Cheese
Who doesn't love the creamy, cheesy deliciousness of macaroni and cheese? Whether it was a childhood favorite of yours or you've grown to love it as an adult, it can be hard to resist if it's put in front of you. And these days it's ever more popular — it's even served at the fanciest restaurants!
Unfortunately, what tastes the best isn't always the best for you. One cup of mac and cheese can add over 400 calories and 15 grams of fat — half of it saturated — to your daily intake. (And it's pretty tough to stop at just one cup!) Do you know what you'll have to do to work that off?
Exercise Equivalents
Walking: 118 minutes
Running: 39 minutes
Swimming: 75 minutes
Bicycling: 56 minutes
But don't despair — you can have your mac and cheese without feeling as though you can't eat for a week after. Instead of making it with high-calorie, processed cheese, butter, whole milk, and white pasta, make a healthier version. Use whole-grain pasta, skim milk, cooking spray, and reduced-fat cheese.
