Can you burn calories while watching tv and sleeping?

during the EATing part, you burn the same as if u were just sitting around. however, the actual digestion process burns a few. it's disappointing, but the ENTIRE digestion of food in the human body requires very little energy in the form of calories. i guess its a good thing, but sucks if ur trying to lose some lbs and are looking for anything. little tip: one food that does actually convert into loss of calories after ingested is celery. of course, if you eat 20 stalks of celery, you're not going to lose weight. but for me, using celery and mustard as a substitute for the foods i craved has helped with the cellulite mountain.
