Our bodies consume energy at different speeds according to age, gender, weight, fitness, etc.

However, we can give a few examples of activities and answer the above question: How long would one have to be active to burn one heaped teaspoon of sugar (30 kilocalories).

There are up to 7 heaped teaspoons of sugar in a small bottle of sweet carbonated drink (0.5 l). One has to run for half an hour or walk for an hour or do the homework for almost 3 hours or sweep the floor for 70 minutes to burn these calories.
