Formula

To calculate the calories burned during inactivity:

\[ \text{Calories Burned} = \left( \frac{\text{BMR}}{24} \right) \times \text{Hours of Inactivity} \]

What are Inactive Calories Burned?

Inactive calories burned refer to the energy expended by the body during periods of inactivity, such as sitting or lying down. The body burns calories to maintain vital functions like breathing, circulating blood, and regulating body temperature. This calculator provides an estimate of the calories burned based on the individual’s Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) during a specified period of inactivity.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Step 1: Divide the BMR by 24 to find the hourly rate:

\[ \frac{\text{BMR}}{24} = \frac{1800}{24} = 75 \text{ calories/hour} \]

Step 2: Multiply the hourly rate by the hours of inactivity:

\[ \text{Calories Burned} = 75 \times 8 = 600 \text{ calories} \]
