Question:
How many calories do you think i burn at my job every day?
i'm a 22 year old female, 5'7'' and 165 pounds
i work in a warehouse and for about 5 hours a day i am constantly lifting 15 pound boxes and walking at a steady pace for about half that time. i have about a 30 minute break in those 5 hours. does anyone know around how many calories that burns?
im not even sure if lifting even burns calories or if it just tones your muscles
Answers:
Calories are untis to measure energy.
You need 1 calorie to heat up 1 liter of water for 1 degree Celsius.
So any move you make usues up calories, even not moving and just keeping your body temperature does, you need about 1000 calories just to keep you going without doing anything exercise.
I would suppose you are using above 3000 calories each (work) day, a construction worker would be using 4500 and more, just to give you an idea.
