- leereeves 3y agoI don't. Could you explain what you mean? Here's what I found: the formula given in the article is "calories burned = BMR x METs/24 x hour" But the METs for lying quietly is 1. The author certainly forgot to subtract 1 from METs in that equation, and could easily have also forgotten to do so when calculating the given numbers. https://pacompendium.com/inactivity/ https://pacompendium.com/inactivity/
- circlefavshape 3y agoIt just wouldn't make any sense to tell people "you burn X calories when walking/running/whatever for an hour" if they had to subtract their base metabolic rate from the number.
- leereeves 3y agoI agree it should state the excess calories burned. I think the author probably misunderstood the formula.
