Take Today Show’s Calorie-Counting Quiz!

This morning, Today show anchor, Kathie Lee Gifford, squared off against actress Tori Spelling for a little game called “You Ate It, Now Negate It” which was meant to raise awareness about the actual caloric content of the food we eat.  I don’t know about you but some days, I really don’t want to know!

Cynthia Sass from Shape magazine served as the expert during the game.   The questions were “True or False” or multiple choice.

• Are there more than 350 calories in one cup macaroni and cheese? (I think it depends on what kind of cheese was used).
• How many calories are in a medium chocolate milkshake?  450, 220 or 700?
• How many calories is in one piece of fried chicken with the skin? 200, 370 or 410?

They also talked about how much exercise you’d have to do to work off the calories you’ve consumed.  I think this was pretty good!  Watch the segment but be prepared to be shocked by some of the answers!
