How is it ambiguous. You clearly understood I meant calories burned per unit time.

The ambiguity is what unit of time you care about. With HIIT you lose more weight per minute of exercise you do. With a lot of LISS you can lose more weight per week than you could with HIIT.

  • Understood, but the parent I responded to was talking about efficiency so I thought that was the context.

    In my experience I'm not so sure about that either. I can't repeat centuries day after day when I am out of shape and need to lose weight. If one can, it's very unlikely he/she needs to lose weight.
