Calories Burned While Sitting Down

According to TheColumn.org, sitting quietly burns 84 calories an hour (based on a 150-lb person), while sitting and doing an activity, like playing a card game or writing, burns 114 calories per hour. Although sitting does burn calories, it does not burn an adequate amount of calories to make up for the food an individual will consume in a day.
