WHAT!? There's part of me that thinks you are joking. I know that a couple people already responded to this, but I can't not respond also. Completely and utterly untrue with no foundation in reality. Digestion alone burns calories, breathing, heart pumping, twitching in your sleep, and every single other thing your body is doing all day every day for the course of your life. I may be mistaken, Fatgiraffe, but I thought you mentioned you were a nurse. I'm surprised to see this comment from someone so educated in anatomy and physiology! Not meaning to jump all over you, but it's stuff like this that keeps getting repeated that of course some people take to heart when it's just not true at all. Pet peeve of mine.Originally Posted by fatgiraffe
Think of it this way: the food you eat will in no way be burned off because you don't burn any calories sleeping
