do you burn more or fewer calories if you are smaller?

Question

If drumming burns 272 cals/hour for someone who is 150lbs, and i'm around 110, what does that mean for me? I'm a girl, if that makes any difference.

Answer 1

Fewer

Use the Daily Calorie Needs Calculator. Based on your age, sex and activity level, it will calculate how many calories you burn per day and give you a good idea of how much to eat.

Answer 2

the BMR of a 110 lb person is less than that of a 150 lb person. so you will burn less calories performing the same exercise as a heavier person. i'm not sure where that number of 272 calories an hour came from but it looks highly inaccurate, I would put the caloric expenditure from that movement at about 40% less than 272 cals an hour

Answer 3

A good bit fewer (exactly I'm not sure). Girls, generally have less muscle mass and density thus burn calories at a lower rate than boys. The same goes for the weight difference.

Answer 4

The better physical condition you are, the LESS calories you burn from exercise.

Think of it this way. It takes the human body more energy to propel a 250 pound body through mass (walking for example) than it does to propel a 125 pound body.

Answer 5

I think u burn fewer calories when you are smaller

Answer 6

The smaller (or more fit) that you are the fewer calories you burn.
