metabolism question... lost at sea only had water to drink. his weight on arrival was 100kg-body composition 1% glycogen and 30% fat-daily expenditure=10MJ/day which is basal expenditure..all body glycogen can be oxidised but only 90% of fat can be oxidised...heat combustion of fat is 40KJ/g and of glycogen 20KJ/g....I ...
