Silly Question ...

I feel a bit silly asking this question, but it's been playing on my mind.

I work as a chef and it can get pretty greasy and smokey and I was wondering if there is a possibility that I could be absorbing calories from breathing in the fumes from the food?

Yea, I said it was a silly question :P

    I wouldn't think so. I work in a restaurant as well. And it gets quite greasy in there and I've had no problem losing weight. Think about it, when your skin is try they tell you to use coconut or olive oil for moisturizer and people don't gain weight doing that. I think you are fine.

    A little, but just like oil sprays add negligible calories, I doubt it is enough to even attempt to count.

    Unless you are a mouth breather, then it would be more (Jk)
