2.5 hours, 350 kcal/day

Daily Calorie Log
Tue. Mar 6, 2018

I found an interesting article.

obese individuals remained seated for about 2.5 hours per day longer than the lean “couch potatoes,” for an average savings of about 350 kcal/day in energy expenditure.

Many people try hard to do heavy exercises to reduce weight but this study suggests light exercises or just fidgeting are important to prevent obesity.

the “energy gap” required to explain the increased prevalence of obesity is only 100 to 200 kcal/day

It is not the big difference but the accumulation of small differences that divide obese people and standard proportion people. When I do heavy works, I become very hungry and eat a lot too. That calorie intake cancels out burned calorie by heavy exercise and makes no difference in terms of weight reduction.

Levine et al. propose that concentrating on modifying NEAT behaviors (standing instead of sitting, fidgeting instead of keeping still, or simply walking) can burn the necessary extra calories to control weight. In other words, targeting inactivity may be sufficient to fill the “energy gap” that leads to a creeping up of body weight.
