Some interesting statistics:
The maximum sustained energy one can burn daily is 2.5 times the basal metabolic rate BMR, which is how many calories you burn when doing nothing.
On average that’s 4000 calories/day.
That’s the equivalent of:
Running a clothes dryer for about 3 hours
Running a vacuum cleaner for about 3 hours
Running a desktop computer for about 10 hours
Running a refrigerator for about 10 hours
Running a dishwasher for about 2 hours
Running an oven at 350°F for about 2 hours
Driving a car for about 100 miles
Burning a candle for about 140 hours
Burning coal in an oven for about 2 hours
Running an air conditioner for about 6 hours
