On average, adults need about...
2000 calories a day, and it's because we, on the average "burn" about 2000
calories a day.
Different activities require more fuel, the more strenuous - the more
fuel, and less strenuous means less fuel needed - it's a good rule of
thumb.
Sitting quietly, "burns" 84 calories per hour, while walking "burns"
252.
So when you do the math - sitting quietly all day and night - we "burn"
about 2016 calories.
So if you don't want to cut calories from your diet, just knowing there
is simple math going on that can help us "burn" more calories by upping
our activity, is pretty sweet.
