How many grams of fat have i burned if ive burned 100 calories?

Answer 1

There are 9 calories/ gram of fat so you may have burned up to 11.1 grams of fat.

However your body uses carbohydrates for energy first so this can substantialy decrease the before-said number of 11.1 grams.

A good way to exercise is to carb load your muscles(eat some good carbs before you exercise, like fruits and veggies) then excercise. your body will consume the carbs you gave it, now if you are following a meal plan and you have limited calories/ day then later your body will realize it is in a defecit of calories and burn fat to compensate. So, say for example your body needs 1000 calories per day, then you run off 100 calories on carb loaded muscles(which you loaded with say 100 calories of carbs, Note there are 4 calories/ gram of carbs so 100 calories means 25 grams) so u gave your body 100 it used 100 net loss=0 however your body still need 1000 calories but, since you calculated that you already ate 100 you will only give it 900, the remaining 100 it needs it will take from fat. A person may say, if this is the case, then why should i excercise why don't i just eat 100 calories less? while eating 100 calories less is a good idea, excercise gives you other advantages such as toned muscles, increased muscle mass/size, and helps you be cardiovascularily fit(meaning you can easily run without needing to stop for air)

Also, a person may say: why should i carb load my muscles? shouldn't i be doing the opposite so that the calories will be taken directly from my fat?

Carb unloading is another approach, however if your muscles are carb-loaded then you will feel less fatigue and will be able to run for a longer time, in fact some people can run off up to 200% the ammount of calories they carb-loaded their body with. On the contrary a person who carb-unloads his muscles may only be able to run off 50% of the calories he meant to burn due to the body going into energy saver mode. If a person manages to do their workout and burn the calories they meant to burn, then they are faced with a different problem: eating. Their body now want to reclaim the fat it lost so it will make the person feel extremely hungry, he will thus be tempted to overeat. On the contrary a person who carb loaded their muscles wont feel this hunger until the end of the day when it is time to sleep so they will sleep and not feel the hunger, the next morning their body would have adjusted.

Answer 2

It depends on what the 100 calories is made up of. If you knew how many carbohydrates and grams of protein were in the 100 calories, then you could calculate the fat grams, but it's not possible to figure it out without more info. However, if the 100 calories you ate is made up of ALL fat, and doesn't contain any protein or carbs, then it would be roughly 11 grams.

Answer 3

There are 9 calories in every gram of fat. So 11 grams of fat would equal 99 calories consumed from fat.
