  I found this study which would suggest it’s ballpark correct, depending on your weight and what you’re carrying

  Something like 8 kCal for the equivalent of 3 floors seems about right.

  Exercise doesn’t consume that much energy compared to just running the body (unless you do immense amounts of it).

  Probably. A few calories per flight. We are pretty efficient creatures.

    In exercise, Kilocalorie and calorie are used interchangeably

      They try to make a distinction when referring to kilocalories as Calories, it’s literally just that Calorie (kcal) is capitalized and calorie (cal) is not.

      It’s a dumb system.

        It’s all just because Americans have a pathological aversion to metric prefixes

      Yeah, I just realized my mistake and attempted to delete my comment before anyone else could see it… no luck this time.

    A calorie and a kilocalorie are the same thing when talking about nutrition/exercise. Which is 1000 “small” calories.
