But what if I knew that it would take me an hour and 20 minutes of brisk walking to burn off those Chunky Monkey calories? Would I think twice?

Probably, says Ashlei James, a graduate student at Texas Christian University. She tested how much people ate when given menus with labels that stated how much brisk walking would be required to burn off the calories in a given food item. She compared that to menus with calorie counts, and those with no information, and tracked how much people ordered and ate.

The menus with and without calorie counts had no effect on how much the 300 participants, ages 18 to 30, ordered and ate. But the people who saw the walking times listed ordered fewer of the burgers, fries, chicken tenders, salad, dessert, sodas and water on the menu. They ordered less food, and ate less, too.

Ten types of foods account for 44 percent of dietary sodium consumed each day. 65 percent of sodium comes from food sold in stores. 25 percent of sodium comes from meals purchased in restaurants. Reducing the sodium content of the 10 leading sodium sources by 25 percent would lower total dietary sodium by more than 10 percent and could play a role in preventing up to an estimated 28,000 deaths per year.

Here they are in order of high sodium content:

1. Bread and rolls 2. Luncheon meats 3. Pizza 4. Poultry products (such as chicken nuggets and patties) 5. Soups 6. Cheeseburgers and other sandwiches 7. Cheese 8. Pasta 9. Meat dishes 10 Snack foods like pretzels, chips and popcorn
