How many calories burnt while crying?

Question

I have been doing alot of crying, with stress and other factors, and was just curious about how many calories are being burned.

in responce to a few answers I recived
Its just a question out of pure curiousity. Im not trying to lose weight by crying. That would be compleatly absurd. I just wanted to know.

Answer 1

Since crying is not a particularly physically strenuous activity (though it may perhaps be mentally strenuous), it will not burn a particularly large number of calories. It will burn more than simply resting would, but still not a lot.

Basically, I'm saying don't count on crying to help you with weight loss, if that's what you're going for. Frequent exercise, however, will increase your basal metabolic rate, so you'll burn more calories even while resting. That is the proper way to lose weight.

Answer 2

You burn about 4 calories / tear drop Other things that burn calories Sweating Thinking Sleeping Exercise Going Poop Laughing Talking/Singing

Answer 3

46

Answer 4

Probably none.

There is no muscular work out involved in crying.

If you are involved in excessive crying, you should go and see a psychiatrist. There are good medicines to relieve you from depression, and get on with your normal life.

Answer 5

hello,
I only know burning calories from diet and exercise but
I never heard of burning calories from crying
so I would not know how many calories burned from crying.

Answer 6

measure the mass of your tears. then measure it's temperature. see what it's final temperature is when you're all done. a formula and a calculation later: BAM there's your answer.

my guess is like 12. 15 if youre overly emotional.

Answer 7

seriously?
