minus-square@youngalfred@lemm.eelinkfedilink27•2 months agoI found this study which would suggest it’s ballpark correct, depending on your weight and what you’re carrying
minus-square@AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish8•2 months agoSomething like 8 kCal for the equivalent of 3 floors seems about right. Exercise doesn’t consume that much energy compared to just running the body (unless you do immense amounts of it).

minus-square@Little_mouse@lemmy.calinkfedilink7•2 months agoThey try to make a distinction when referring to kilocalories as Calories, it’s literally just that Calorie (kcal) is capitalized and calorie (cal) is not. It’s a dumb system.

minus-square@rImITywR@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish2•2 months agoA calorie and a kilocalorie are the same thing when talking about nutrition/exercise. Which is 1000 “small” calories.
Are these numbers even remotely correct?
