If Energy released by metabolising a pint of beer (764 kJ) was a standard unit ...

  • Energy capacity of a Tesla Powerwall 2 battery (38.6 MJ)...more would be 50 x Energy released by metabolising a pint of beer
  • Energy released by metabolising a 50g poached egg (308 kJ)...more would be 2/5 of Energy released by metabolising a pint of beer
  • Energy released by metabolising 1g of fat (38 kJ)...more would be 1/20 of Energy released by metabolising a pint of beer
