Re: [Phys-l] Food Liar's calorie chart

[Bernard Cleyet <bernardcleyet@redshift.com>]

What "you" (SJ) forget is the basal metabolism, and the increase of  
the metabolism due to 'work" which is not contributing to the muscle  
work.  These are not increased much w/ harder exercise.  The only way  
to measure all this is to wear a CO2 monitor basally, while  
exercising, and immediately after exercising.

bc not certain about this.
