If I burn my food, will I consume less calories as I have already burnt them? [closed]

I was wondering, why do we say that we ‘burn’ calories. And then I came to this question.

burnt calories

Best Answer

Yes, if you were burning food that provided you exactly the caloric intake you need to maintain your weight, and if you ate only that and didn't replace the lost calories by adding additional food. To carry it to extremes, you could oxidize your food to an inorganic ash. Metabolic (food) calories are ultimately identical to the energy found in any non-food fuel. They're just found in molecules that are digestible. But you'd also be destroying vitamins, fiber, etc., as well as flavor. Slightly singeing it would destroy a few calories, maybe, of properly cooked food.

Does food have less calories when burnt?

If you want to eat pure calories then consuming less food is preferable to incinerating your pizza. Burnt food may have fewer calories but it also contains a lot of very toxic materials created by excessive heat and it doesn't taste that great.

What happens when more calories are eaten then burned off?

Once your body's energy needs are met, extra calories are stored for future use \u2014 some in your muscles as glycogen, but most as fat. Thus, eating more calories than you burn will cause you to gain weight, whereas eating fewer than you need will cause weight loss ( 4 ).

What happens when you burn the same amount of calories you consume?

Can you burn off more calories than you eat?

Burn more calories than you consume by increasing your physical activity. If you eat enough calories to support your BMR, but add more exercise, you'll create a caloric deficit simply by burning extra calories. This only works if you're not overeating to begin with.
