How does your body burn 2000 calories a day without any effort, but running a mile only burns 100 calories?

Others have explained well but just to keep perspective running a single mile is pretty easy with minimal practice. For a late middle aged casual runner like myself, that’s about how long it takes to get warmed up. People who don’t have running experience way over estimate what a feat a single mile is. Casual runners often go 6 plus miles and a minimum of 3 for early before work runs. Not a license to eat anything you want but enough to burn meaningful calories.
