I spend a good part of the day blinking and swallowing....occasionally tapping my pencil on a desk. Anybody know how many calories I should be logging?



And yeah, Heather...this was just to drive you nuttier

    I'm sure a few cals. Do you tap your feet? I hear that tapping your feet makes you burn calories...seriously...no joke.

    Depends how long you pencil tap. I suppose blinking and swallowing would be counted in your BMR, as they are everyday bodily functions. Pencil tapping, however.... Maybe you should wear your HRM for two days - the first NO PENCIL TAPPING, and then the second, tap away. Then you'll have a more accurate count...

    A friend from work Google bouncing your legs (as if to calm a baby) and found that it can burn anywhere from 500 - 700 calories a day!

    Depends on what you are swallowing...it could counter the burn, unless it is high in protein...

    Swallowing - does that mean I can log eating to counter balance the food I am eating??!!

    It only counts if you are a storm trooper and thinkiing about RoJ makes you hot and bothered...then it is a HUGE calorie burn!!!

    So the swallowing, you can log it but if it is the kind of swallowing I am refering to in my mind, it will also cost you about 5 calories...so it might just be a wash. ;-) But really fun!!
