Calorie minutes

As I was driving home I heard someone on the radio mention the number of minutes in a day.....1,440.   Which is many people's BMR number. If one's body is only burning 1 calorie a minute while sitting in front of the computer, that means a single bagel or a muffin contains enough calories for 6 to 8 hours!

You are right on the money. I ate a lovely piece of carrot cake and had a soy latte recently, total was 800 calories. I calculated out I needed to do a brisk walk for at least 2+ hours... The cake was enjoyable.  My BMR is 1.1 calories/minute, the calories for a computer approaches 1.7+ calories/minute.
