[Citation needed] You could sweat off the heat from 1000 kcal/day of thermogenesis (or any other bodily exothermic reactions) in just 75 mL/hr of extra sweat. You're sweating about 25 mL/hr even when you don't notice you're sweating at all, and people in tropical climates can sweat as much as 3.5 L/hr. [1] I think that's plenty of budget, not to mention the additional budget available via regular convective and radiative heat transfer. If a person's metabolism is prone to converting energy to fat, just 120 kcal a day could add 10lbs of fat in a year.
