A quick back-of-the envelope calculation shows this makes sense: 1kg of fat has about 38000kJ, that's a bit over 3 times the energy used in a day, so if we don't eat, we convert about 300g fat into CO2 in a day, or 100g during sleep (1/3 day). | |

* Technically calorie is a unit of energy and not an item that can be "burned". What we mean when we use the word is the process of molecules being broken apart, which releases energy that can be used by the body; however, the pieces of the "broken up" molecules still weigh the same as the molecule as a whole, so we don't loose weight just from "burning calories".
