calories burned standing

Any idea how many calories extra on average can be burned while standing for 1 hr? I'm 5'1 and 100lbs

more than sitting, less than walking. for me its about 2 calories a minute, that includes the 1 calorie a minute i burn just being alive.

When you signed up for MFP you put in an activity level. Sedentary is the lowest level. Sedentary does include some activity like standing, walking, reaching, etc. So it's likely that if you logged standing as exercise, you would be double counting.
