Climbing up a flight of stairs burns less than 2 calories. An Oreo has 53 calories. You do the maths.

Ok

Climbing up the stairs directly burns 2 calories, and not eating the Oreo because you're climbing the stairs avoids 53.

Sounds about right to me. Even if it does require living in one of those places where it is not customary to store your Oreos on staircases.
