How Many Calories You Burn Having Sex, Eating Pizza, Sending A Text


The best thing about the Nike Fuelband is that it can keep track of any activity you do. Yes, any. You know what that means, right? Let’s find out how many calories we burn and how much Nikefuel we earn doing totally normal everyday things.

For reference, Nike considers a 3000 Nikefuel day to be an ‘active’ day with a 2000 Nikefuel day being a ‘normal’ day. On to the numbers!

  • Brushing Your Teeth:: 17 Calories, 47 Nikefuel
  • Eating Pizza: 8 Calories, 23 Nikefuel
  • Washing Dishes: 30 Calories, 86 Nikefuel
  • Sending a Text: 0 Calories, 1 Nikefuel
