could some bright spark help me work this out please.

How many calories would you burn standing in 1 spot and using controls like CCTV... I am finding so tough to work out many different numbers on sites.
I work for 9 hours and think it might be around 1176 but this is for a 70kg person i am 267 lbs.
i don't . and don't plan to eat my calories back as i need a deficit...

    is this your job? in which case you need to change your activity factor to lightly active (or moderately active) and not log it on a daily basis

    I would not log it as a calorie burn. It is included in your regular daily calorie allowance

    Don't log it separate. It is part of your life. Just set your baseline for lightly active and if you happen to burn some extra, count it as a win!

    It's not activity, it's part of your daily life and it wouldn't be anymore effort than sedentary. Standing doesn't really burn much more than sitting at a desk unless you are moving around a lot.
