Sitting in your favourite armchair doing a crossword or Sudoku does not sound like a particularly effective way to use up calories.
But if you are about to postpone that trip to the gym and turn to the Coffee Break section of your Daily Mail instead, you may be pleasantly surprised.
Tackling puzzles for an hour, it seems, can burn more calories than are contained in many biscuits.
That was the eyebrow-raising claim being made by mental agility experts yesterday in a bid to encourage more people to log on to their brain-training website.
Doing puzzles and quizzes burns an average of 90 calories every hour, they say - while a chocolate chip cookie contains an average 56 calories, a custard cream 57 calories and a jammy dodger 85 calories.
p/s: I love sudoku (*_*). Now on my 3rd book, MENSA Sudoku (buffday gift from a fren).... baru sket buat, tu yg tak kurus2 tu... tak dpt burn calories... hehe
