Eating seaweed toast is the same as half an hour on a treadmill

"Eating seaweed toast is the same as half an hour on a treadmill"

Sort of. Here's the actual accurate statement: if you enrich bread with seaweed, it will supposedly reduce your caloric intake over the course of a day by about the same amount you would burn off on the treadmill. The alleged logic involves the ability of the seaweed to fill you up, thus suppressing your appetite. "They found the men fed the seaweed bread (rather than plain white bread) consumed 179 less calories in a day."
