minus-squareSibbo@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·5 months agoAre these numbers even remotely correct?
minus-squaresgh@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up0·5 months agoKilocalories, certainly not. Maybe calories.
minus-squarebaldingpudenda@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·5 months agoIn exercise, Kilocalorie and calorie are used interchangeably
minus-squareLittle_mouse@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up0·5 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-squareNielsBohron@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·5 months agoIt’s all just because Americans have a pathological aversion to metric prefixes
minus-squaresgh@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up0·5 months 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-up0·5 months agoIt’s cool. People will see it and learn.
minus-squarerImITywR@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·5 months agoA calorie and a kilocalorie are the same thing when talking about nutrition/exercise. Which is 1000 “small” calories.
minus-squareyoungalfred@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·5 months agoI found this study which would suggest it’s ballpark correct, depending on your weight and what you’re carrying
minus-squareburgersc12@mander.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·5 months agoProbably. A few calories per flight. We are pretty efficient creatures.
minus-squareAnUnusualRelic@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·5 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).
