How many calories in a pound of fat?
Ive always wondered how many calories were in a pound of human fat.
The awnser I came up with was 4086. Becuase theres 454 grams in a pound, and 9 calories in a gram of fat.
But Im sure thats nothing near correct.

Lenny: Pfft, forget it, Homer. While it has been established that eggs contain cholesterol, it has not yet been proven conclusively that they actually raise the level of serum cholesterol in the human
blood stream.

3500/3600 however I wonder if water content is taken into account (dont know). Muscle is rated at only around 1800, again I wonder about water, there would be a difference between prepared meat and living meat.
Or it could simply be a blood issue, since in living fatty tissue there would be a small amount of blood capilaries. Brown fat has much more blood, hence its name (its more orangish colored).Motivation Bench form Charles Poliquin When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be. Lao-Tzu
