3000 calories?? You would gain weight, quickly!!
The average human takes in only 2000 calories a day.
Plus, sitting on the couch all day is bad for you.
150
A couch is normally 80-90 pounds.
It depends on how many you are burning. Are you exercising or sitting on the couch?
Not all 7 foot leather couches have the same weight; there are a wide variety of couch designs. However, on the average, I would estimate that a weight of 100 pounds is likely.
You will not lose weight (body fat) if consume as many calories as you burn. You will also not gain any body fat.If you eat 2000 calories a day, and go to the gym and burn 2000 calories doing various exercises, you WILL lose weight. This is because your body constantly burns calories to keep you alive. You burn then when you walk around, when you sit on the couch, when you sleep, even when you chew more food and digest. But if the sum of your workout calorie burn, and you daily natural calorie burn adds up to 2000 calories, and that's what you consumed that day, your weight will remain constant.
Yes. You can burn calories just sitting on the couch. That is if you are not feeding your face. Minimal calories burned though.
Mostly because their lives are, overall, more sedentary than kids. Kids are nonstop dynamos, and burn off calories easily (unless they're couch potatoes). But a fairly high percentage of adults actually are "couch potatoes".
it depends on what they eat, but probably a whole lot
A 5'1'' woman should weight between 95 and 115 lbs. or so. Assuming it is in jointure with modest exercise (meaning not a couch potato, maybe some workouts here and there are a nice walk everyday or so), that means about 1300 to 1600 calories to be consumed a day.
by getting off of it
It may seem harder to start sliding a couch because of the friction between the couch and the floor. The weight and size of the couch can make it more difficult to overcome this friction and get it moving.
Obviously you are burning an amount of calories based on your basal metabolic rate, although this would happen regardless of whether you were standing, sitting or sleeping.However, standing up also puts pressure on the spinal erector muscles, the rectus and transversus abdominus muscles (which work together with the spinal muscles to hold the torso upright), the leg muscles, and also the neck muscles which have to support the weight of the head.As standing is a static activity, these muscles merely provide support rather than repeatedly contracting and relaxing as would be the case with running or walking, so their energy needs are greatly reduced. That said, standing up for a prolonged period of time would still burn calories which wouldn't be burned if you were lying down.Its impossible to give an exact figure, though I would estimate it could be anywhere from 50-100 calories per hour depending on the height/weight of the person.
