if i lie in my bed all day and dont eat anything for 24 hours how many calories will this burn?

Answer 1

the normal human body will burn between 800-1500 calories just carrying on daily tasks of keeping you alive. But youll enter a starvation cycle and create more problems for yourself!!

Answer 3

When you don't eat for a prolonged period, your body reacts by behaving as though it were starving (starvation mode). What happens is your basic metabolism, (the rate at which your body burns calories while at rest) slows in order to conserve energy, so you end up using even fewer calories. Then, when you do eat, your body will store every bit that it can as fat. It's just a self-preservation technique your body will use when it thinks it's starving. Lack of food, especially protein, and lack of physical activity will cause muscle atrophy (muscle wasting) as well.

Answer 4

Based on the program I saw on discovery health for super-obese people that can't get out of bed, I would say 6 calories per pound of weight to keep your basic organs functioning.

If you weigh 300 pounds, 1800 calories or 1/2 pound.

If this is your attempt to lose weight, it is not recommended. It is unhealthy and most likely won't work.

Answer 5

Just by being alive you'll be burning calories, but not very many. And since you won't be eating, your metabolism will slow down, causing your body to hold on to your fat. You'll go into basically a "survival" mode and I don't think you'd lose any weight.

Answer 6

Very little. You can't burn calories when you are not active. And not eating slows the metabolic rate.

Answer 7

Not sure but just by driving you burn 200 and hour so you must burn some

Answer 8

It depends how much you weight and on your age and gender. Do a search on 'basal metabolic rate' and you can get some tools to work it out.
