For how long would a 68 kg person have to swim at a fast crawl to use all the energy available in a typical fast food meal of burger, fries, and a drink? assume that methabolic power of a 68 kg individual swimming at a fast crawl is 800 w and that fast food meal energy content is 5660 kj.

Taking this to a Physics formula of Time equals energy times efficiency over power equals (5670kJ)(0.25) over 800J/s equals 1770 s which gives the solution 30 minutes. Therefore, it will take 30 minutes for a 68kg person to swim at a fast crawl in order to use all the energy available in a typical fast food meal of a burger, fries, and a drink. I estimated with a 25% efficiency for work capacity at swimming at a fast crawl in this equation.
