For a 160 pound person:
Sleeping for 8 hours burns 549 calories.
Talking on the phone for 8 hours while sitting down burns 914 calories.
Driving a car for 8 hours burns 1,212 calories.
Standing at a casino pulling the lever of a slot machine for 8 hours burns 1,402 calories.
If you are doing something more strenuous like even something as simple as walking the dog, picking out weeds from the garden, or mowing the lawn, you burn even more than that. Trust me, it's pretty easy to burn through 2000 calories in a day.
