burning carbs
 

I walk for 40 minutes a day, five days a week on a treadmill. I use two programs already installed, and it tells me I burned 521 calories. My question is, does anyone know the ratio to burning carbs. In other words, how many calories must you burn to equal one carb, or five carbs?
What got me to thinking about this is the Budlight commercials saying you could burn off the extra carbs by " walking on a treadmill " with your fingers or some screwy crap. I don't drink Budlight anymore beacuse it does have signicantly more carbs than Mich Ultra, but I would still like to know the formula for determining how much it takes to burn off a carb. Thanks for any info on this.

1 carb= 4 cals ;)

Damn crystal, that was easy. Thanks. Is That for sure?

beer
 

That ratio is correct however the body burns alcohol for energy before carbs/sugars/fat. So when you drink a beer/vodka whatever, remember you are stopping the fat burn and burning alcohol.

So rule of thumb is basically that your body will burn ALL beer calories first before burning anything else(alcohol, then carbs). So remember that when your putting a few beers down :)

This information is great folks.Thanks
