What is energy?

Energy is defined as the ability to do work. Now we are told that one pound (1.00 lb) of body fat is equivalent to approximately 3.488 x 10^3

kcal.

Hence;

If 125 kcal is burnt by running one mile

3.488 x 10^3 kcal is burnt by running x miles

x = 3.488 x 10^3 kcal * 1 mile/125 kcal

x = 27.9 miles
