Eat the snacks before donating. That way your blood glucose spikes and you ‘burn’ maximum calories.
Comment on How many calories does a standard whole blood donation burn?
Fosheze@lemmy.world 10 months agoHmm. Not as much as I hoped. You could probably eat that many calories in the free snacks they have afterwords without anyone even looking at you funny.

Grow a wizard beard. That way you have crumbs and can eat while donating too.

There is no good way to outpace calorie consumption with activity. It is far far easier for humans to consume usable calories than it is for us to spend them.
In our ancestors this meant that we were able to go a long time between good meals during times of scarcity and still survive, but today it just means that if you’re worried about calories you should start in the kitchen, not the gym
