Weight loss calculator shows how much exercise is needed to burn off takeaways and alcohol

Have you ever wondered how many calories you consume on a boozy night out followed by a greasy kebab?

A new online weightloss calculator shows just how much exercise you need to do in order to burn off your favourite tipples and takeaways.

UK website WorkOffYourDinner lets people select drinks guzzled on a night out, with everything from pints of beer to prosecco and wine.

The calculator also lets you log what takeaway you had, including a chippy and pizza or snacks such as crisps and chocolate.

It then calculates exactly how much exercise is needed to burn off the calories, with everything from burpees, cycling and even sex.

Three glasses of wine would take 700 burpees or three miles of running to work off, while a Chinese takeaway could be burned off by a 21-mile walk.

A night out involving a glass of prosecco, four double vodka and cokes followed by a peperoni pizza would take a whopping 22 miles of cycling to burn off.

Meanwhile, one glass of gin and tonic at 126 calories only takes one mile of running or 26 minutes of 'moderate sex' to work off.

The free online tool was built by Alertr.co.uk, with statistics gathered from fast food restaurants and nutrition information based around the average weight of an adult.

You should always consult a doctor before embarking on a drastic diet plan.
