Calories Burned While Not Exercising?

I use that website a lot as well, but be careful because many on here think it way over-estimates how many calories an activity burns ... but from all my research so far I think it is pretty dang close.

You can use it to estimate you RMR, or Resting Metabolic Rate - what you burn just to live even if you did nothing but lay on the bed for 24 hrs.  The website might calculate your RMR a little high, by a couple 100 calories or so .. but should be close.

Had mine tested and it was 2101 ... and the folks there, people with Masters and Phd.'s in Health and Exercise and Sports Science (they teach at Meredith College) ... told me to calculate between 300-500 calories a day for Daily Activity.

So, if I just take a shower, eat, drive to work, walk around, do desk work etc ... I should burn between 300-500 calories.  I'm using a middle number of 400 and so I've set my daily calorie needs at 2501 .... if that is all I eat then anything above just daily activity should work toward losing weight.

Again, I found that website fairly accurate ... but just to make sure I'm going to start taking their numbers and multiply by .75 ... just to be on the safe side.

I use http://caloriecount.about.com.  They've got categories for feeding the dogs, grocery shopping, sitting at the computer even!  Once you sign-up (free) and plug in your height, weight, age and some other stats, it'll automatically calculate how many cals you'll burn in a day.  For me, without logging any cals burned, I automatically burn 2,035 cals.  Add on all the little activities here and there plus tri training and you'll be surprised by how many you can burn.

Take the numbers with a grain of salt, though, as they can't be exact, but they can be a nice guide.

Yeah, you definitely need to consume more than 700 calories a day!  I don't know about the difference between cals in/cals out for maintaining, but if you want to lose, you need to have burned more than what you've eaten.
