The best thing about the Nike Fuelband is that it can keep track of any activity you do. Yes, any. You know what that means, right? Let’s find out how many calories we burn and how much Nikefuel we earn doing totally normal everyday things.

For reference, Nike considers a 3000 Nikefuel day to be an ‘active’ day with a 2000 Nikefuel day being a ‘normal’ day. On to the numbers!

Brushing Your Teeth:: 17 Calories, 47 Nikefuel

Eating Pizza: 8 Calories, 23 Nikefuel

Washing Dishes: 30 Calories, 86 Nikefuel

Sending a Text: 0 Calories, 1 Nikefuel

Shaking My Arm Up and Down for 30 Seconds: 9 calories, 26 Nikefuel

Smoking a Cigarette: 8 Calories, 21 Nikefuel*

Walking Up 4 Flights of Stairs: 7 calories, 19 Nikefuel

Taking a Shower: 60 Calories, 169 Nikefuel

Using the Restroom (#1): 2 Calories, 6 Nikefuel

Using the Restroom (#2): 10 Calories, 31 Nikefuel

Sleeping: 25 Calories, 79 Nikefuel

Masturbating: 82 Calories, 231 Nikefuel

Having Sex: 179 Calories, 514 Nikefuel

A Night Out Drinking: 463 Calories, 1303 Nikefuel

A Night Out I Don’t Remember: 1129 Calories, 3320 Nikefuel

Being Hungover: 102 Calories, 292 Nikefuel

So of all the activities, walking up four flights of stairs is easily the worst deal you can get wearing a Nike Fuelband while going out and partying seems to score you the most bang for your buck.

* I know, right? But we checked this multiple times.

Curious about any other activity? Let me know and I’ll try and test it out.
