minus-squareSibbo@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up16·1 year agoAre these numbers even remotely correct?
minus-squareyoungalfred@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up27·1 year agoI found this study which would suggest it’s ballpark correct, depending on your weight and what you’re carrying
minus-squareAnUnusualRelic@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·1 year 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-squareLittle_mouse@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up7·1 year 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-squareSGH@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 year agoYeah, I just realized my mistake and attempted to delete my comment before anyone else could see it… no luck this time.
minus-squarebaldingpudenda@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 year agoIt’s cool. People will see it and learn.
minus-squarerImITywR@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3arrow-down1·1 year agoA calorie and a kilocalorie are the same thing when talking about nutrition/exercise. Which is 1000 “small” calories.
minus-squareburgersc12@mander.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 year agoProbably. A few calories per flight. We are pretty efficient creatures.
