Again, read the paper. The whole thing. The specific text:
> 4. The average daily calorie intake of men doing light work was about 600 Cal./day less than that of men doing heavy work. The previous failure to differentiate between intakes was thus not confirmed. The estimated calorie expenditure per minute, excluding what was require for basal metabolism, was on an average 2-2 Cal. for light work, 2-7 for light to medium work, 2.6 for medium to medium heavy work and 3-8 for heavy work.
- Retric 3y agoI assumed that was a mistake as light to medium is above medium to medium heavy etc, but I almost got make their numbers work though both light medium to heavy are off by 0.1. Light: 46.5 h / week Light to medium: 46.0 h / week Medium to medium heavy: 46.6 h / week Heavy: 48.8 h / week Going back to table 7 Light 838/day Light to medium 1063 Medium to medium heavy 1013 Heavy 1585 Light is thus 838 * 7 / 46.5 = 126 calories per hour = 2.10 /min *vs 2.2?* Light to medium is thus 1063 * 7 / 46.0 = 161 calories per hour = 2.68 /min Medium to medium heavy is thus 1013 * 7 / 46.6 = 152 calories per hour = 2.536 / min *vs 2.6?* Heavy 1585 * 7 / 48.8 = 227 calories per hour = 3.79 /min Though at this point I assume there are other math errors. Still 65 + 2.1 * 60 = 191 calories per hour for light work is more realistic than some of the other numbers you where tossing around. (191 - 120) * 8 = 568 calories per day delta.
