As a side question:

I remember seeing a TV science series in the 80’s that had Richard Feynman explaining how a 30k calorie pyramid of jelly donuts on a barbecue grill was the equivalent energy a Tour de France cyclist expends in a day.

What show was that? I can’t find anything.

Maybe PBS "The Ring of Truth” - not Feynman though, Philip Morrison.

Thank you! That’s it at 32:20. He and Feynman look similar, and it was 30+ years ago.
