Basically the title. I saw this thing about how much you have to exercise to burn off certain foods and was wondering how your body burns so many calories by doing nothing.
In: 160
A very rough calculation of “how much energy you need to keep 80 kg of water at a temperature of 37 degrees during 24 hours in an environment at about 20 degrees” gives you, very roughly, an expense of about 1500 calories.
So the rest of what you’re doing in the whole day (all the body functions) cost you, roughly, about 1000 calories. that’s seems to make sense.
