How many calories does the IT brain use?

leave a comment »

In a day, around 400 -500.  Now that is a normal day of regular activities for anyone.

A human brain uses a (kilo)Calorie of energy in about 3.5 minutes. (About 120 per hour for talking alone) If you work IT and think and troubleshoot around 8 hours a day that would be in the neighborhood of 1680 calories (actually more but there is lunch and breaks).  And you wonder why you are so tired?

Oh and that is why you want to snack all of the time….
