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.

How many times does your heart beat every day?

How many times do you breath per day?

How many little movements of your hands, arms, legs, abs..etc are there per day?

How much brain activity is constantly running?

What about the movement of your stomach, and intestines?

All the metabolic activity that keeps your body heated to a toasty 98.6 degrees all day amd all night, every day?

Your body does all kinds of shit 24/7, and every bit of it requires energy.
