"Exercise increases your daily calorie consumption, so you lose weight" and "Adults consume 2000 kilocalories per day." The common sense that has been believed in nutrition science and sports science until now is a mistake! The author, a biological anthropologist, uses the Double Labeling Water Method, which accurately measures the calories consumed by humans and animals, to measure calories consumed by African hunter-gatherers, urban dwellers and even orangutans, and explores how humans have evolved energy consumption and metabolism.
