A member asked:
When you get a cut or bruise do you burn more calories because your body tries to heal it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends on the: size of the insult. A big cut can result in high caloric burn and can sometimes get your temperature high even. On the contrary, a bruise may not require this much high calorie burning.
