On a particularly gassy day, it may seem like your body is doing some serious work to get those farts out. So you may be wondering (or, at the very least, wishfully thinking) whether farting actually burns any calories.
Well, rest assured that much like everything else on the internet, you are not the first person to have wondered this. In fact, if you Google "How many calories does farting burn," you'll find an oft-repeated rumor claiming that one fart burns 67 calories.
But is this (oddly specific) claim actually true? Does farting burn any calories at all? We called up some experts to find out.
