How many calories do you burn per day if you remain completely sedentary?

Best answer:
The body even when sedetary burns calories and these are the calories burned maintaining your BMR or basal metabolic rate. It is estimated at around 2100 to 2500 calories. Of course variables come into play when clculating this because the BMR isdifferent for different people. If you take in more calories than your daily BMR then you body stores the extra calories as fat. If you take in less calories than your body needs to function daily then fat stores are broken down for energy needs. During times of stress or illness your bodies BMR may be higher and you may need a higher amount of calories to meet your bodies needs. Also studies have show that people who figet burn more calories daily than people who don't. Hope this helps.
