So must of us know that a calorie is a measurement of the amount of energy in a given amount of food (we actually use kilocalories and just call them calories). However, it just crossed my mind recently that the yield of an explosion, measured in tons of TNT, is also just a measurement of energy, and because of this, we can convert to and from them!
For example, I'm about 40lbs down. Doing the math:
40lbs fat = 3500 kcal/lb x 40 = 140,000 kcal = 0.14t TNT = 140kg TNT
From Wikipedia, ≈1kg TNT can destroy a car. Thus,
140kg TNT ≈ 140 cars destroyed
My weight loss is equivalent to the amount of energy it takes to destroy 140 cars!
