BEWARE OF YOUR KUIH-MUIH

Yesterday, wani and I went to one stall near Tanjung Lumpur, kononnye nak makan keropok lekor.. Unfortunately keropok belom goreng lagik.. so, while waiting, we chose few kuih coz they seems so inviting.. huhu.. I said to wani, “ni byk gile calories kite amek nih.. xpadan ngan ko gune treadmill stgh jam”. Then wani said, “tu la.. gune treadmill lebih kurang setengah jam baru 100 lebih kcal (kcal= unit for energy). (Approximately, 3o minutes of exercise = 120 kcal)That was a part of our extended conversation bout makan byk and kurang exercise..

Actually, it is OK to eat a lot, provided u burn it back la.. Unfortunately, it is not easy to burn the calories as much as we consume foods.. main meal susah nak elak, so try to reduce makan kuih2 or junkfoods, cz they are high in calories..

Typically, for adult man requirement per day 1600-1800 kcal* while woman 1400- 1600 kcal per day* Try imagine berape banyak the kuih-muih da amek.. tu blom kire nak minum dhn ice lemon tea ke sirap bandung , the tarik dan lain2. So, is it possible for us to use food we consume? If no, it’ll be stored in the body and one form of it is fat.

So… kesimpulannye, try to eat less kuih.. huhu

* Energy per day yg I tulis tu average, lain org lain requirement. It is very simple utk kire energy requirement per day.
