Standing Calories Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Standing Calories (SC) is:

\[ SC = \left(\frac{TS}{60}\right) \times 100 \times \left(\frac{BW}{150}\right) \]

Where:

\( SC \) is the standing calories (calories).
\( TS \) is the total time standing (minutes).
\( BW \) is the body weight (lbs).

What are Standing Calories?

Standing calories refer to the number of calories burned while standing. This calculation helps estimate the energy expenditure based on the duration of standing and the individual's body weight.

Example Calculation

Consider an example where:

Total Time Standing (TS): 120 minutes
Body Weight (BW): 150 lbs

Using the formula to calculate the Standing Calories:

\[ SC = \left(\frac{120}{60}\right) \times 100 \times \left(\frac{150}{150}\right) = 2 \times 100 \times 1 = 200 \text{ calories} \]

This means that the standing calories for this example is 200 calories.
