Most energies burned come from resting metabolism
Metabolism is divided into three main types, including basal or resting metabolism, physical metabolism, and digesting metabolism. Among these, resting metabolism is responsible for a large number of burned calories per day, from 60% to 80%. Physical activities account for around 10% to 30%, while digesting food only accounts for 10%. That is the reason why working out would result in statistically significant, yet small changes in your body weight. [4]
