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.

Your body makes tons of heat, heart beats, cells die and get replaced, your brain needs lots of energy to keep working, lungs work constantly.

Your marrow makes blood all day, your gut works hard to digest food, your muscles do hard work to keep in shape.
