calories and emotions

Does anyone know if getting angry burns more calories than other emotions? In other words, if you are sedentary and angry are you burning more calories than if you were just sitting there happily?

    Unless emotions create a calorie deficiency then the answer is no. LOL!

    I'd prob recommend curbing anger though...stress isn't fun!

    Anger/stress increases cortisol so my guess is no
