Human power calculated from food instake is 100 watts Humans have an average energy budget of $100$ Watts, but Stefan-Boltzmannthe power radiated from the body temp is 1000$1000$ Watts? What am I doing wrong?

On average, a human consumes around 2000$2000$ kilocalories per day. This converts to roughly 2000000$2000000$ calories / 86400$86400$ seconds or around 100$100$ joules / second giving roughly 100$100$ watts.

But if you use human's body temperature of 310 kelvinsKelvin, the Stefan Boltzmann gives Power-Boltzmann law $$P = e \sigma A T^4$$ says the power radiated by a human, with a surface area of roughly 2m^2, emissivity ~ 1, to be$2 \, \text{m}^2$ and emissitivity $1$ is 1000 watts.

$$P = e \sigma A T^4$$

What am I doing What's wrong here?
