Calories burnt networking?

I attended a conference today, and it ended with about an hour of networking, i.e. walking slowly around a room talking to as many people as possible about anything and everything.
And now I am exhausted.
Surely I must have burnt at least a few calories doing that.

I wish this were true but I highly doubt it. Put it this way...I wouldn't log it onto MFP and eat back the calories0

Not enough to eat back.0 -

I would really appreciate it if people gave me the INFORMATION that I want, and not tell me what to do.
I already know I drank more calories during that hour then I could possible have burnt.
BUT I am a data analyst, and I like to have all the data.
That way I can make informed decisions for MYSELF instead of relying on other people to tell me what I should or should not do.0 -

Well if i were you i wouldn't go by the logging exercise calories and eating them back route. It's just too inaccurate and many people overestimate their burns and end up eating back too much.
Find your TDEE amd subtract 20%, then just eat this amount every day. It's much simpler and that way you don't have to worry about this type of thing!0 -
Because the thing is, there's no way you can get accurate data for that. How fast was the walking? How long was it really, an hour exactly? More? Less? Caloric burns are estimates at best.0

Ok, but we need more facts. When you say "about an hour" how many minutes and seconds was that exactly? How fast were you walking - if you know the distance you covered and the time it took then we can calcualte an average speed - go down to the conference hall with a measuring tape NOW! Were you moving your hands and jaw around as well as walking? And what's your height and weight?0

You didn't even ask a question in the OP, actually. So don't act like they answered the wrong one.0 -

Heh. Good catch.0 -
Standing for an hour burns about a calorie per pound of bodyweight. (120 pound woman burns 120 calories, etc.)0

Standing doesn't burn many cals at all because our bodies are so well adapted to it. It is included in a sedentary lifestyle tdee calc.0

I sincerely doubt there is any truth to this.
OP - Sorry, but this is not exercise!0 -

The question was in the topic title, the post was my explanation of the question.
I did do research, it said 126 calories which I thought sounded too high.0
