Does the amount of exercise affect the amount of calories that you need to take on a daily basis?

Yes. Calories fuel the body.


How many calories are in a food that contains 20 grams of carbohydrates?

Every gram of carbohydrate has 4 calories, so 20 grams of carbohydrates would be 80 calories. But you also have to take into account the amount of protein and fat grams in the food, as well. Protein has the same amount of calories as carbohydrates (4 calories per gram) and fat has 9 calories per gram.


WHY WOULD A PERSON WHO IS VERY PHYSICALLY ACTIVE NEED TO TAKE IN MORE CALORIES THAN A PERSON WHO IS VERY ACTIVE?

A Calorie is a measurement of "fuel" availability. If a person is VERY physically active, they need to take in more fuel to stay the same weight. Just like a car that drives more miles in a day needs more fuel than one that sits in a parking lot. Depending on the size of the person, there's a base amount of calories needed to perform the requirements of the body, like fueling breathing and sitting and moving. The more you move, the more calories you use. When you start using more calories per day than you take in, you start to lose weight. The fat gets converted to energy to fill in the extra calories needed to cover the amount taken in versus the amount needed to do all that moving. That's why you lose weight. Or, you take in more calories if you are very physically active and want to stay the same weight.

Do fat people continue to get fatter?

The amount of weight you gain/don't gain/lose has to do directly with the amount of calories you take in a day coupled with your activity label. Someone that seems already overweight but stays eating a certain number of calories a day, will stay the same weight.

How many calories of heat would it take to raise the temperature of 256 grams of water from 20 degrees to 99 degrees?

A calorie is the amount of heat you need to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius. Assuming you are raising the temperature of the water from twenty degrees Celsius to ninety-nine degrees Celsius, it would take 20,000 calories. To calculate this, subtract 20 from 99. This is the amount of degrees you need to raise the temperature of the water by. Then multiply that number by 256, the amount of water in grams. You should get 20,244 calories. In significant digits, your answer should be 20,000 calories.

How many calories can you burn doing 75 knee highs?

Not any important amount. When it comes to burning calories, how hard and for how long is much more important than what you do. Pretty much all activities that gives you the same increase in heart rate for the same time will burn the same amount of calories. Now, 75 knee highs won't take that long to complete. Maybe 1.5 minute if we're generous. And it's about as strenuous as aerobics. So if one hour of aerobics would use up 450-600 calories, 1.5 minutes of knee highs will use up 11-15 calories.
