Thanks Icey! ^_^ This seems like a great tool for putting things into perspective. I do however, want to put out a warning. You don't necessarily want to burn off every calorie of everything you eat! Remember that your body requires anywhere from about 1500 - 2200 Calories (kcal) per day to maintain basic body function. (Do you enjoy using your brain? It needs food too!) This number varies depending on age and weight. Here is a fairly good website for figuring that out:

Just make sure you eat healthy, exercise and keep in mind, everything in moderation. Once you get that down everything else comes easier. Speaking of which, I'd love to join the club! Sounds like fun.
