How many calories do you burn while driving?
I just started learning about health and nutrition. I’m always a little hungrier than usual after my long commute and I’m just curious… How many calories does driving burn?

Looks like there may be an advantage to your
long commute
after all! Driving a car burns 2.5 more calories than the resting metabolic rate–AKA, how many calories our bodies naturally burn at rest. The exact amount of calories burned varies person-to-person based on weight, so see the chart below for a quick reference.Weight (pounds) | Calories burned for 1 hour of driving |
