The things you ask yourself when you work behind the computer.
There are rumors online that you can burn about one calorie with a mouse click. According to this website, you would even burn 1.4 calories with it. In that case, we would no longer have to exercise at the Santé editorial office. You guessed it:if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
Is the myth true?
Every person already needs a minimum number of calories for the body's functions to work. Depending on your build, that is approximately between 1400 and 1700 calories. If you could burn a calorie with a mouse click, your energy will fly through it very quickly. What would happen if you walked? In addition, with an intensive workout you usually burn just one snack (or half). Burn a calorie with a mouse click? Too good to be true.
