Mental agility expert Tim Forrester, of website cannyminds.com, found one hour of metal workout helped beat more calories than those in a chocolate chip cookie with 56 calories, a custard cream with 57 calories or a -79-calorie chocolate HobNob.

If the regime is extended to two hours, then one could burn off a pack of Hula Hoops (175 calories), bag of Maltesers (186), a - Cadbury's Creme Egg (173), or a bag of Jelly Babies (180), the research said.

"Our brains require 0.1 calories every minute simply to survive," the Daily Express quoted Forrester as saying.

"When we do something -challenging such as a puzzle or a quiz we burn through 1.5 calories every minute," he added.
