by burning calories
you ever notice how athletes eat energy bars and stuff like that?
that's because those foods have lots of calories. When you eat you consume calories: a measure of kinetic energy. Your body uses up calories through physical activity. Even walking or lifting a finger requires energy. Without calories, you would be really tired and sleepy.

What type of energy does a candlelight have?
There are two kinds of energy involved in candlelights. Firstly, a candlelight uses chemical energy to burn. Chemical energy is when something consumes fuel to produce energy, a candlelight uses a wick and the oxygen in the air to burn. Candlelight also gives of heat energy, which is the transfer of energy from one body or system due to thermal contact.

What 80.38 fat burn means?
"Fat burn" refers to the physiological process by which the body uses stored fat as a source of energy. This process occurs when the body's energy demands exceed the immediate supply of glucose (sugar) available for energy. When this happens, the body starts breaking down fat molecules from fat cells (adipose tissue) into fatty acids and glycerol. These fatty acids are then transported through the bloodstream to cells where they are used as fuel for energy production.
