Idk why you're joking but i used to be underweight and couldn't afford a lot of food, and i genuinely tried to burn as few calories as possible, making choices like you're describing all the time.
Edit: some weird typo autocorrected, i meant to say 'I know you're joking but[...]'
It's educational and a good initiative. I use stairs as an opportunity for exercise also.
Yeah well maybe an icon that usually tells people where to take a shit shouldn't be so fucking critical.
Maybe it should show the number of calories you'd burn going up the stairs. It would be a small number, but it's better than 0.
It says you burn 0.5Kcal for every 2 steps you take, and extend your life by 8 seconds.
Here is even an example that shows progress as your calories and seconds added increase as you climb up the stairs.
