On average a human consumes around 2000 kilocalories per day. This converts to roughly 2000000 calories / 86400 seconds or around 100 joules / second giving roughly 100 watts.
But if you use human's body temperature of 310 Kelvin, the Stefan-Boltzmann law P=eσAT4 says the power radiated by a human with a surface area of 2m2 and emissitivity 1 is 1000 watts.
What's wrong here?
