The 4-Hour Body - An Uncommon Guide to Rapid Fat-Loss, Incredible Sex, and Becoming Superhuman - Timothy Ferriss

Put another way, moving 100 kilograms (220 pounds) 100 meters (about 27
ights of stairs) requires 100 kilojoules of energy, or 23.9 calories (known to
scientists as kilocalories [kcal]). A pound of fat contains 4,082 calories. How many calories
might running a marathon burn? 2,600 or so.
The caloric argument for exercise gets even more depressing. Remember those 107 calories
you burned during that kick-ass hour-long StairmasterTM session? Don't forget to subtract your
basal metabolic rate (BMR), what you would have burned had you been sitting on the couch
watching The Simpsons instead. For most people, that's about 100 calories per hour given o as
heat (BTU).
That hour on the Stairmaster was worth seven calories.
As luck would have it, three small stalks of celery are six calories, so you have one calorie left
to spare. But wait a minute: how many calories did that sports drink and big post-workout meal
have
