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 is never doing “nothing”

You have a “basal metabolic rate” whish is the required calories to just function.

Body functions, breathing, liver, kidney, brain, heart etc – all require energy.

That’s about as much as I understand it!
