When do I burn more calories?

Dr. Mehmet Oz answered:People with a high metabolism burn more calories than people with a low metabolism. Intense exercise requires more energy than resting on the couch. You burn more calories digesting good food then when you are downing empty calories in junk.
The goal is to have the calories you eat match the calories you burn or it gets stored as fat. Knowing your threshold can help you figure out how many calories you need to keep your energy needs in balance and your body at an ideal weight.

National Academy of Sports Medicine answered:You burn more calories whenever you are active, the more intense or vigorous the activity the more calories you will burn, and the more calories after the activity you will burn too. Where you work out and the conditions you’re in also affect calories burned too. Exercising in extremely cold or extremely hot environments makes it harder on the body and increases the calories burned during exertion, so does being at a high altitude.
