From a normal daily calorie expenditure only a fraction goes on physical movement. The greatest share goes on cell biochemistry, followed by digestion, then normal stuff like heart beats. Additionally all the physical movement like rolling over when you sleep and reaching for a coffee. This means that for most people an hour work out will add less than 10% to your daily energy expenditure. And your body can naturally reallocate energy from different processes if you are in deficit. Like running some other things in a slightly lower energy mode.
If you are in a serious deficit for a long time it can be harmful. But the more immediate worry is getting the right things at the right times.
- atmin 3y agoI just ran for a hour and burned about 45% of my resting calories. I do this every other day. 3.5 hours of exercise per week sounds reasonable to me.
- lotsofpulp 3y agoHow many Calories (I assume kilocalories) is that? According to this article: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/23/sports/olympics/cross-country-skiing-food.html https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/23/sports/olympics/cross-cou... >A typical elite cross-country skier will burn about 30 calories a minute during training–by comparison, a 155-pound person on an elliptical machine burns about 11 calories a minute. On the rowing machine, I can get up to about 500 to 600 Calories in 45min to 1 hour. But I also feel like most people would not work out hard enough to burn 10 calories per minute, especially if we are talking about older people.
