How many "calorie" do we "burn" doing "NOTHING"?


So the other day . . . we spoke about how many calories a body "should" burn on an average day.


Well . . . today let's figure out just how many we "really" burn. . .


Now . . . did you know . . . we actually "burn" calories without even "thinking" about it???


You see . . . the brain uses about 20% of the body's energy every day.


And the simple task of "thinking" . . . burns about 320 calories each day. And the "more" active the brain is in "thinking" . . . the more calories we burn.


Now . . . what about if you're a "fidgetier" . . . which is movement like jiggling your leg, tapping your foot or twirling a pen???


Well . . . this action in itself only burns a few calories . . .


But . . . add all those "little" calories up during the day . . . and you could burn 350 calories for a "non-exercise" day.


We even burn calories when we "sleep".


The average 150 pound person burns about 50 calories an hour when in a deep sleep. So if you sleep 8 hours . . . then you've just brunt about 400 calories.


So how else do we burn calories on an average day???


Well . . .
