Experiment 5: Human energy efficiency 2 a) A typical 2 oz chocolate chip cookie contains 260 food calories. Let's say you eat just enough to maintain your weight, but then you decide to eat an additional 2 chocolate chip cookies for dessert every day. How many miles do you now need to run every day to burn of those 2 cookies? b) If you decide not to run those miles every day, how much weight would you gain over the next 10 years? c) If after 10 years of eating those 2 cookies you decide you want to lose those extra pounds, so you stop eating those 2 cookies, but you continue to eat the meals to maintain the weight as you did before, and you also decide to run 3 miles per day to burn some extra calories. How long would it take for you to get back to the weight you were before you started eating those cookies?
