About Relaxing Activities

Sedentary and relaxing activities represent your baseline metabolic rate:

Sitting: Light office work burns approximately 1.5 MET - slightly higher than pure resting.
Watching TV: Burns approximately 1.0 MET - your true resting metabolic rate.
Sleeping: Burns approximately 0.95 MET - your body's lowest metabolic rate during rest.

All MET values are sourced from the Compendium of Physical Activities. While these activities burn fewer calories, they represent an important baseline for understanding your total daily energy expenditure.
