How am I gaining weight when I'm doing more exercise?

[BlueEyedHipsta]

I was home doing nothing for just under a year and gained a little bit of weight, but now I am doing a cookery course Monday to Thursday and am walking (quite fast) at the least 50min and 80min at the most Plus standing on my feet and walking around the kitchen in hot heat for about 5 hours. My diet hasn't changed in the slightest. The only difference that I've noticed is my calves are slightly smaller. What's going on?

I'm 5'4
66.3kgs
17 years old

The first law of thermodynamics.

Energy cannot be created or destroyed , it can only be transformed.

You are eating more than your body is expending even with exercise.
You gain weight.

You are eating less than your body is expending.
You lose weight.

It's THAT simple.

[NotJustAnotherGuy]

That's the law conservation of energy there bud. Not the first law of thermodynamics. We're not adding heat to a system, just saying.

@NotJustAnotherGuy
FACEPALM TO THE MAX.

The first law of thermodynamics is a version of the law of conservation of energy.
Total energy of an isolated system is constant; energy can be transformed from one form to another, but cannot be created or destroyed.

Before you play Mr Smartass , get your facts right.

[NotJustAnotherGuy]

Ok Mr. Wiki. Let me use the same source-- The law conservation of energy is "Energy cannot be created or destroyed , it can only be transformed.". The exact quote in which you used. Should be enough said there, but since you're simple minded I'll further elaborate by defining he first law of thermodynamics.

The first law of thermodynamics incorporates that law of energy, but it isn't that law in itself. The first law of thermodynamics is "change in the internal energy of a closed system is equal to the amount of heat supplied to the system, minus the amount of work done by the system on its surroundings"

The first law of thermodynamics is specific to closed systems, and is a very specific use of the law conservation of energy. The human body is an open system, and the specific definition doesn't fit.

Mr. Smartass has his facts right. Please stop embarrassing yourself.

@NotJustAnotherGuy
The most SIMPLE concept of science is that to study something we must hold everything else in a ceteris paribus condition.
If the system is not closed and the factors not being studied is not held constant you CANNOT do science at all.

Also , that's a very long paragraph you are using if the only point you raised is "human body is not a closed system"

[Illusive_Man]

Do you even understand the concept of a MODEL brah?

[Illusive_Man]

Be educated.

[NotJustAnotherGuy]

Again, "Energy cannot be created or destroyed , it can only be transformed." is the law conservation of energy.

"change in the internal energy of a closed system is equal to the amount of heat supplied to the system, minus the amount of work done by the system on its surroundings" is the first law of thermodynamics

Which quote did you use?

[Illusive_Man]

Albert Einstein's
“Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be changed from one form to another.”
@NotJustAnotherGuy

Not wikipedia's.
Wiki warrior.

[Illusive_Man]

tho I have to admit it wasn't exact but "changed from one form to another" and "transformed" is interchangeable in meaning.

[NotJustAnotherGuy]

Lol, As if the Einstein quote changes anything. I'm embarrassed for you. So much ego, you can't admit the quote is the law conservation of energy.. even though you know, everyone reading knows you're about as right as left.

[Illusive_Man]

@NotJustAnotherGuy
WELL !
I suppose Einstein's definition just isn't good enough then lol
I give up.
You are better than Einstein.

[NotJustAnotherGuy]

Considering it's Einstein's quote on the law conservation of energy in regards to his theory of relativity... I don't see where the first law of thermodynamics comes in. You do know the law conservation of energy, and the first law of thermodynamic predates Einstein's birth, right? That, that quote isn't the origin of the law? And also has nothing to do with thermodynamics?

How much more can you be wrong, please, I'm curious. Keep talking.

[Illusive_Man]

@NotJustAnotherGuy
That moment when people don't understand how how of the keystones of the general relativity is thermodynamic. Surely you're intelligent enough to understand the concept without falling back on recital of it? Or perhaps not. Surely you don't need to be spoonfed word for word when the key concept is the same?
“Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be changed from one form to another.”
"In a thermodynamic process involving a closed system, the increment in the internal energy is equal to the difference between the heat accumulated by the system and the work done by it."

For the sake of creating a model , it is assumed that all other factors held constant such as that in a closed system. No more energy and no less will be in a system in any reaction it will only be transformed from one state to another. Let it be heat , let it be stored as a chemical potential , etc.

Look , I'm not even sure what we are arguing over here.

[Illusive_Man]

Did I use word for word of Clausius's long ass definition?
No because for the sake of explaining the concept above , Einstein paraphrase of a key concept of thermodynamics was sufficient.

Look this is amounting to be an ENORMOUS waste of my time. I will reply to ONE more comment before I leave this.

[BlueEyedHipsta]

Seriously guys stop, it's getting annoying and frankly it's pointless arguing over something so stupid.

[str8uphonesty]

Losing weight is really easy. Focus on mainly Cardio (at least 20 min a day of intense), drink a lot of water, and don't eat past like 9 pm. Quite simple

[Climber]

You should compare your fat content. It is very well possible you lost fat, but you gained muscle. If your body looks more toned, than that is the case and nothing is wrong. Muscle is heavier than fat. So you will look "thinner", but be heavier.

[Izzex3]

Muscle weighs more than fat.
I look smaller and dropped sizes even though I gained more weight when I was 102lbs

[Prof_Don]

You're gaining muscle. Muscle volume weighs 8x as much as bodyfat volume.

[hotstuffSRD]

Change your diet n exercise... jogging n squats will help you😊 your eyes are sexy as hell

[UB6IB9]

Because when you exercise your building mussel. And mussel is heaver than fat! :)

[stylez0106]

that's awesome you're gaining weight

[BlueEyedHipsta]

No it's not
