What I learnt in medical school was that anaerobic metabolism is inefficient, and would lead to a higher energy consumption. The [[lactic acid|lactate]] formed would need [[gluconeogenesis]] in the liver, with additional energy expenditure (and, supposedly, catch-up oxygen consumption).

Taxman is correct that the exrx.net page does not establish a causal link. Blair P. is right that for all intents and purposes, energy=calories=fat. It just takes a fair amount of exercise to deplete [[glycogen]] stored in muscles and to initiate lipolysis (fat decomposition). I'm happy to look at specific articles from the Len Kravitz page; I may have full-text access to some of the ''Metabolism'' articles.
