Clicking a Mouse Button Burns 1.4 Calories

Researchers in Japan have estimated that clicking a mouse button burns 1.4 calories, reports TechCrunch.

‘Convert Anything To Calories’, published by PHP Science World Shinsho, has narrowed down a mouse click to 1.4 calories. This is based on an index finger at a volume of 10.8 cubic centimeters, with a weight of 11.7 grams, taking 195 micromoles of ATP (Adenosine Triphosphase) to move the index finger muscles per click.

The average calorie intake of a male is 2000kcal and female is 1700kcal, or 2,000,000 calories and 1,700,000 calories respectively.
