Is it true that you burn 70% of calories just by thinking?

I had heard this a while back, but it seemed a little odd. If this is true, than how many calories do you burn by playing piano (since it takes the whole brain to play, and requires more thought)?

Nope - sorry. You need about 200 - 300 calories per day just to survive and that includes thinking. I have been trying though to think myself thin for years without success lol.

If you believe that ... can I sell you some great swamp land in Florida?

"Think" about it ..... there wouldn't be an obesity problem now would there?
