Calorie Count for the Average Kid and Parent on Halloween

Happy Halloween! You might want to sit down for this article - actually you might want to get up and walk around to burn a few calories.

Did you know the average kid will eat between 3,500 and 7,000 calories of Halloween candy this year?!? Donna Arnett, a researcher for the University of Alabama Birmingham School of Public Health, says that's essentially like eating 13 Big Macs.

To burn off that many calories a kid would have to walk for about 44 hours!

What about parents? The average parent will eat about 1,700 calories of candy today.

To burn those calories, you'd have to run 13 miles.

Experts advise parents to try to stretch their kids bounty out over several days.
