Scenario
Cellular respiration converts the energy of fuel molecules to a form of energy that a cell can use to perform work. In an average day, most adult humans need to consume about 2,000 Calories to maintain their health. However, the exact amount of dietary Calories a person needs depends upon many factors, including the person's age, physical activity, size, and health. Foods that we consume vary greatly in their nutritional content and quality. A large hard-boiled egg, for example, has about 75 dietary Calories and contains about 70% of our recommended daily intake of cholesterol.
-Running burns approximately 600 Calories per hour. If you ate four hard-boiled eggs, how long would you have to run to burn them off?

Question

Four hard-boiled eggs contain 300 Calories (4 eggs x 75 Calories each). Running burns 600 Calories per hour, so to burn 300 Calories, you would need to run for 30 minutes (300 Calories / 600 Calories per hour = 0.5 hours or 30 minutes).
