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.

You are never “doing nothing”. Your body is constantly regulating temperature, breaking down and using the food and air consumed to sustain itself. It’s incredibly complicated, and uses energy (quantified by “calories”) to complete and sustain all these processes. From breathing to blinking, thinking, replacing skin cells and repairing injuries… innumerable actions happen at a cellular level to keep you alive as you do “nothing”.
