Walking!

Though it would probably be cool to some people, if you could physically see a calorie burning, on some kind of thermal or infrared monitor

Isn't that really a misnomer though? I mean, 1 calorie is the amount of heat required to raise 1 gram of H2O 1 degree Celsius. So you can't exactly burn a calorie.

Well the way some people cook food, you can. If you see smoke coming out of the oven, you've burned a lot of calories

In fairness though you're probably on solid ground with your response, though I've never really gone in-depth, regards trying to understand the science behind such things.

Yeah, i feel like I'm taking this off of where we should be going with this...

But to my understanding, a calorie is more a concept than an object. It's a way to measure something. When a food item has "100 calories" in it, that means it has enough fuel in it to raise 1 gram of H2O 100 degrees Celsius. Or so I understand.

So you can't burn calories.

Now just watch someone come in here and completely prove me wrong. That's what I get for applying high school chemistry.

No disrespect to anybody on here, but in relation to your fears about being educationally gazumped on this topic, I think there's a high likelihood you'll be fine

I feel a little better about myself now, thanks
