I don't think there's any difference between kcal and cal.

No, they're different.  A thousand cal make up one kcal, just like a thousand meters make up one kilometer.  \nHowever, the "calorie" that you see in nutrition facts and dietary counts is actally a Cal, which is the same thing as a kilocalorie.  It's just so much easier to work with that way, because otherwise, we would be consuming 2,000,000 real calories a day!

Yes you could lose weight by running 1 hour per day.  Running is a bigger calorie burner than swimming, but it is fine to mix them up.\n\nGenerally, running burns 100 calories per mile or 100 calories per 10 minutes.  Your calorie burn will vary depending upon your fitness level and how hard you are working.\n\nSo assuming you burn 500 calories per run, it'll take you (theoretically speaking) 10 weeks to lose 10 pounds (7 days per week at 500 calories, where 3500 calories equals one pound).  \n\nHowever, running that much might result in injury, especially if you currently aren't a runner.  I recommend hitting the pool or an elliptical trainer.  Your body will enjoy the change of pace and you'll put less stress on your joints and you'll have less burnout.\n\nI usually run about 25 - 30 miles a week and hit the gym for weights 4 x week and I've maintained my weight for years.\n\nYou can use a site such as www.fitday.com to monitor your calories and activities to see how you are doing.  Keep in mind, you certainly aren't overweight and I'd recommend using running for fitness, not a weight loss tool.\n\nGood luck.

Since you are trying to lose weight, the question is really which will burn more calories per session.  Whichever requires the body to do the most work is going to end up burning the most calories.  This figure is provded to us by something called METs (metabolic equivalents).  Overall jogging requires more METs than the eliptical, and the elipitcal requires more than biking.  SO jogging is going to burning more calories in the same amount of time than the other two.  \n\nHowever, either one of the other equipment could utilize more calories than jogging if you are exercising at a high enough intensity.  So if you are biking with a lot of resistance you will most likely burn more calories than if you are jogging at a slow rate of speed.\n\nThe best thing is to find an exercise that you like and are most likely to stay with.  Or better yet, mix it up and crosstrain.\n\nAs far as how long to exercise, it's not how long that's as important as how intense the workout is.  So instead of trying to exercise for an hour with a slow jog, you better better off going at short time period, but at a higher intensity.

You might need to re-phrase this question.  If you are asking about the calories in custard apples: 101 calories.

If you can, try to fit both into your routine. Running burns calories while you exercise, and is good for your heart. Weight lifting will burn more calories in the long run, though. While you do not burn as much as running does while your exercising, it does add more muscle, which increases your metabolism, which burns more calories at rest.

115 - 135 calories every 30 minutes.  Depending on your weight, amount of activity and your metabolism.  :)\n\nHere is an okay site for calorie counting:\n\nhttp://exercise.about.com/cs/fitnesstools/l/blcalorieburn.htm?si=471\n\nHere is one that helps you with the amount of calories you need:\nhttp://www.icsdna.com/urwhatueat/tool4.html

i just learned this the other day. 30 minutes of sex will burn 150 calories. \nif you have sex twice a week, at the end of a year you will have exercised the equivalent of running 7 miles. \ni'm on the accelerated program.

It depends what kind of workout you are doing!  Here are some guidelines as to what kind of workouts will acheive what kind of calorie burn.  Note that these may vary based on the intensity with which you do them, plus your weight may be a factor with some, but at least you can see which will burn more or less calories for you:\n\nWorkouts That Burn About 4 Calories per Minute\nThe following type of exercise burns about 4 calories per minute: callisthenics, cycling (slow), gardening (light), golf (social), general housework, line dancing, table-tennis, tennis (doubles) and walking (slow).\n\nWorkouts That Burn About 7 Calories per Minute\nThe following type of exercise burns about 7 calories per minute: aerobics, basketball, baseball, cycling (moderate), dancing (active), football, raquetball, skiing, swimming, tennis (singles) and walking (brisk). \n\nWorkouts That Burn About 10 Calories per Minute\nThe following type of exercise burns about 10 calories per minute: basketball (competitive), cycling (fast), dancing (strenuous), football (competitive), jogging, kick-boxing, running, skiing (cross country), skipping (with rope), swimming (vigorous), walking (vigorous), weight training (heavy).

Drinking lukewarm water does not burn more calories...as others have said the colder the water the more energy (calories) your body uses to raise the water's temp so that it can be absorbed into your blood.\n\nDisregard the comment that was posted by someone saying slow jogging burns more calories.  This is a myth, you should pace yourself to jog as fast as you can for the time you have allotted for exercise, this will maximize your caloric burn.

i dont know how long u have been doing this but if it for an extended period of time ( a few weeks or so) and u have been able to maintain this routine and feel fine (not sluggish or weak rest of day) then go ahead and do this. just watch what you consume (eat) and make sure u are getting enough of everything. if u start eating less then it will drag ur body down from all the work it is doing (then u will crash). and u are right about the weights u need to start this sometime. it will actually help u lose weight too. the more muscle mass=the higher metabolism. meaning the more calories u will burn, even if its just sleepign or sitting. and about how u time ur running...this is fine. it is actually better to take ur heartrate up and down when trying to lose (not necessary for the cardio benefits...those state u have to have ur heartrate up consistent for 30 mins or more). but the way u are doing it keeps the body from becoming accustomed to ur workout and u dont plateau so easily. just try to put in more running as time goes along. hope this helps :)

It all depends on:\n\n1- How tall you are?\n2- How much do you weight?\n3- What is your BMI or body mass index\n4- How muscular you are?\n\nTechnically, 1 calorie is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water 1 degree Centigrade. \n\nCalories are a measure of energy,  These are the energy units burned off while sweating it out jumping rope.\n\nA person's ability to burn caloric units is determined using a variety of mathematical equations. Age, height, current weight, and height are taken into account. Also, level of effort and difficulty.\n\nThe  bigger the muscle mass the more calories you burn. You can't just go by your weight alone.\n\nExample: \nIf you weight is 140 pounds but have a small frame and muscle density your caloric burn ratio is going to be less than someone who is 140 pounds, large frame and bigger muscle mass.\n\n\nSooo, hard to answer the question without this type of data.

I don't think that it would burn a huge amount of calories, but it is fun.......so enjoy it - dont think you have to have a reason to do it.\n\nP.S. Banging your head against a brick wall burns 200 calories an hour!

Running is better because it burns off more calories in the same amount of time than walking. So running is more effective, but it may put more strain on the joints of the body, esp the ankles, so you should have the appropriate footwear. Also, make sure you don't eat more to compensate for the calories you lose during the exercise. \nNot eating after 6pm is another good way to lose weight. Don't go to bed on a full stomach!!

Yes it is correct.\nSome things to keep in mind:\n1. Yes, muscle is denser than fat, so if you had no muscle before, you might not see much of a difference on the scale.  Don't let this discourage you, because toned muscles take up less space than fat, and they give you body a nice toned look.  Also, the muscles, even when you are at rest, will burn calories faster than fat tissue.\n2.  Calculating calories burned is difficult.  Don't depend on a machine that tells you how much you have burned (i.e. treadmill).  If you are really overweight, you will burn far more calories doing the same exercise for the same amount of time as a skinny person.  Also, intensity and duration of the exercise is important.  If you are not exercising in periods of time more than 20 minutes, then you will burn less calories.   \n3.  Be diligent about figuring out how many calories you are eating.  If you are nibbling, tasting a lot while cooking, or just not counting that "one extra thing", those calories may be adding up.  Buy a food scale to help you with this.\n4.  If you are not eating enough food, your body will go into "starvation mode", which will eventually destroy your muscles while causing some fat to build up.  Go to a site like nutritiondata.com to get good info on how much you should be eating and how many calories are in common foods.
