Calories Burned By Running Comments:

• The human body is very efficient when it comes to energy utilization. A 160 lbs man can run for a whole mile using only the calories contained in a banana or one Tsp. of oil. This may seem discouraging to those of you who want to lose weight. The good news though is that exercise helps in losing excessive weight by accelerating the basal metabolic rate for a considerable period of time even after the exercise ends. In other words, your body burns more calories/hour during rest if you exercise regularly than if you were sedentary.
• Even small amounts of energy utilized on a regular basis for exercise can make a lot of difference in terms of weight loss. For every 3,500 calories burned through exercise, you lose 1 lb of body weight (mostly fat, by the way). If your goal is to lose 1 lb per week, that means you need to lose an average of 500 calories per day. You can achieve this by burning 200 calories through exercise and eating 300 calories less every day.
