A pound of body fat stores an amount of chemical energy equivalent to 3500 Cal. When sleeping, the average adult burns or expends about 0.45 Cal/h for every pound of body weight. How many Calories would a 171 lb person burn during 10 hours of sleep? (Note that 1 Cal = 1 kcal.) A pound of body fat stores an amount of chemical energy equivalent to 3,500 Cal. When sleeping, the average adult burns or expends about 0.42 Cal/h for every pound of body weight. How long would the person have to sleep continuously to lose 1 lb of body fat? (Assume the person weighs 155 lb.)
