According to
http://walking.about.com/library/cal/uccalc1.htm ,
about 80 Calories are burned per mile for a person of that weight, walking at that speed. That amounts to 50 Calories per km. 22g of carbohydrates contain 88 Calories. That means a person can walk 88/50 = 1.8 km while burning the Calpries in that energy bar.
Of course, a person can walk farther than that by using energy stored in the body as fat or residual blood sugar. That is one way to diet.
An "energy bar" contains 22g of carbohydrates. If the energy bar was his only fuel, how far could a 68 kg person walk at 5 km/hr ?
