Depends on the man...
1 metric horsepower = 735.499watts ... so a little more than 0.7Kw
If it's kind of a bull... heavy... with lot of muscles can go well beyond the 300watts!
You have to consider that just for basic functions the body requires around 2400-2500kcalories each day... something 100-125 watts...
not bad...
Now consider the kind of man I'm talking about... that eat 1kg bread at each meal...
These guys were used to heavy work... and introduced around 8000-9000kcalories each day... kind of trains I would say...
maybe you can power them with coal too directly !
But they aren't the trains... the trains are some cadets... during heavy training course : can reach also 12000kilocalories each day! And stay slim!
Of course, guts, balls etc needed... and hi-consumption in that case is mandatory cause big health failures at such rates will happen shortly if that energy surplus is not consumed about totally everyday...
Don't you have the Navy SEALs training manual under your pillow ???
Good reading at the evening...
