Does thinking burn calories and Can stress cause weight gain


To get inspired to read the whole post read the last sentence 1st.


On an average each person burns around 1200 to 1440 Calories a day by doing nothing (50 to 60 Calories per hour). While the brain represents just 2% of a person's total body weight, it accounts for 20% of the body's energy use. 


That means during a typical day, a person burns about 320 to 360 calories just to think. Just by doing basic functional thinking can help you burn calories. It burns a bit more if you think really hard. If you are thinking about burning calories rather than sitting idle also helps you to burn more calories. But just these are not enough to make you slim down. 

If you want to be fit, losing weight is not the solution (especially faster), gaining Strength helps you. Increase in metabolism helps you be fitter.
