Energy burned/day

Ever since I got my Polar watch I wanted to wear it for a whole day to see how much energy I use at work. Haha, didn't expect much as the only time I get up from my seat is for a smoke break. So today I finally got around to it. I started when I left home this morning (7h30) and stopped when I pulled my car into the garage this evening (18h20).

And the stats.... *drumroll*

Total Time:             10 hours 50 mins (longer than usual)
Max [wikipedia:heart rate]:     119 bpm (unfortunately didn't notice what I got so excited about)
Avg [wikipedia:heart rate]:      72 bpm
KCal burned:          1047 kcal (4 300 kj) = about 3 Bar Ones  

So this means roughly 100 kcal/hour and that I can eat 6 chocolates/packets of chips per day and not get fat! Stick out tongue
