minus-squareyoungalfred@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up27·7 days agoI found this study which would suggest it’s ballpark correct, depending on your weight and what you’re carrying
minus-squareAnUnusualRelic@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·7 days agoSomething like 8 kCal for the equivalent of 3 floors seems about right. Exercise doesn’t consume that much energy compared to just running the body (unless you do immense amounts of it).
minus-squareburgersc12@mander.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·7 days agoProbably. A few calories per flight. We are pretty efficient creatures.
