Answer

$\Delta m=1.045\ kg$

Work Step by Step

From table 4-2, the energy consumptions for a 68kg person will be aprroximately: Jogging $540 Cal/h$, watching TV $72 Cal/h$ Proportionally for 80kg, the difference would be: $\Delta \dot{E}=(540-72)\frac{80}{68}=550.59\ Cal/h$ Therefore the monthly difference (30 min a day) is: $\Delta E=34,578.04\ kJ$ Assuming the difference would be used entirely to burn fat($e=33.1\ MJ/kg$): $\Delta m=\Delta E/e$ $\Delta m=1.045\ kg$
