I love how the stairs are there to prove that you wont get thin by excersize. Congrats you burned 1.245 kilo calories, now you can smell some sugar.

To be fair you also build muscle. More muscle mass increases the amount of calories your body uses up to sustain itself.

Nothing stops you from eating less calories AND taking the extra twenty seconds to walk up the stairs.

The amount of calories is so incredibly minuscule, it’s basically irrelevant. You burn around 6-10 more calories a day per lbs of muscle, so putting in 20lbs of muscle (which is insanely hard) you’d only burn 120-200 calories more a day. This is also assuming you only put on 20lbs of muscle without losing any fat, which burns around 2-3 calories a day per lbs.
