It’s 1600 calories for the McMeal and beers and walking at 3 mph does not burn 500-800 calories per hour😂
Drink four pints of beer once a week and you will gain 10 pounds a year

I meant just the beers (so let’s just say 800 calories).
Not per hour, walking for two or three hours.
Pay attention to what I post.
Again...
“One can walk three miles an hour at a moderate pace for two or three hours and burn 500-800 calories.
One definitely burns more than 100 calories if he or she walks at a moderate pace for an hour.”
The last part is because you think someone needs to walk for about six hours which is utter rubbish. What would he/she be doing?Crawling? Rolling?

What my point was that if INSTEAD of referring to 4 pints, the author had referred to a big mac and fries, then it wouldn't have elicited such a defensive response.
Of course if people want to have a big mac AND 4 pints that's going to take a long while to walk off.

About 3 hours for just the beers. So you’ve still got to find an extra 4 hours in your week just for that.

Not at all...
If you have a job which means you are active all day then you have nothing to worry about at all because you’ll burn the calories of just by going to work.
Or, go for a walk in the morning for one hour and then go for a bike ride after work.
The choices are endless.

As if YukonBoy thinks I’m a troll or whatever he used to call me, but he thinks someone needs to find four hours a week to burn off 800 calories!

I think you should read the article again. It all reads as good sense to me. Certainly nothing controversial or remarkable.

Less than 500 over the three hours.
I inferred the same as @Dogtrousers when I read the article. You seem obsessed with weight loss. I've been reducing my calorie intake since New Year and I spend no time and effort agonising about it. My BMI has gone down by about 5% to 25.5%. Just remind me what yours is? Is it time to visit your GP and show her/him some of your posts on here?

My BMI is 21. I burn off all my calories arguing on the internet.

That could be worse than drinking the 4 pints of beer, weight gain wise.
@LemonJuice, are you basing your figure(s) on beer that hasn't been cooled.
Colder food causes your body to work harder to bring cold food/drink up to body temperature. This requires energy from somewhere.

Thinking about my average consumption over the last 40 years I must be what 700 or 800lbs heavier than I would have been (maybe a lot more if I'm honest)

What is your source? What are your calculations? I mean, are you seriously suggesting someone is only going to burn at the MOST 55 calories per hour which will equal 495 calories (55 x 3 x 3)? I don’t think so.
Here is my source:
Estimate: 754 calories.

That’s an estimate based on someone who is 160 pounds (11.4 stone) which is fairly light and is a good weight to use. People who are heavier (many people are!) will burn MORE calories!!!

I hit the goal I wanted to ages ago, but I was too busy to post on here. I’ve lost more weight since then and I want to lose a couple of more pounds. My BMI is 64.8 now and I couldn’t be happier.

There's no variation for weight there. Which is more important than walking speed.
