Question re cals and fat cals???

Cloe

Does anyone know what the difference is between "cals" and "fat cals". I've been wondering that ever since I bought my ruddy treadmill. It gives me 95.3 fat cals and 305 cals burned??? Anyone on what the difference really is between the two??:huh: Thanks.

That's 305 calories total that you've burn, 95.3 of which are from body fat. We have different energy pathways for different types of exercise. Low-intensity exercise burns more body fat, while high-intensity exercise burns more blood sugar. However, low-intensity also burns fewer calories in general, so even though the % of body fat burnt might be higher, the calories burnt are low. It's good to mix up your type of cardio to take advantage of both.

That is a REALLY basic way of saying things so if it was confusing I can try to explain it better, but I hope that helps.
