Well, there are websites with charts that'll give approximate calorie usage depending on activity.

Do a net search for "calorie" + the activity of choice and you'll probably find something useful. But a more accurate way is to get a heart rate monitor with a calorie counter feature.

Given that the candy contains either 5 calories or 5000 calories, the heat released would be either 5 calories or 5000 calories.

My best guess is that it's not much more different than walking in deep mud, or wearing really heavy work boots.

How many calories is it lose 25 pounds?

That's almost impossible to answer without sufficient information. I can tell you how much calories you shouldn't be eating. I have read on a website that eating 3500 calories less per week will take off one pound. So that means eating 500 less calories each day of the week, which is very easy to do once you learn what foods you should be eating and what foods aren't so nice. It is also a good idea to burn off 250 calories with exercise everyday and get rid of the other 250 daily by eating right.
