it appears that I should have been more clear. Yes. Work does have several definitions, one is, “all energy exerted including energy to persist—i.e. sleep, Base Metabolic rate, incidental exercise and actual purposeful exercise”, and the other is, “the actual activity alone, excluding the base metabolic rate”.
I intended to use this definition for the whole post: “all energy exerted including energy to persist—i.e. sleep, Base Metabolic rate, and actual activity”
If you only count the work that people purposely do − 90% or more of the picture will be left out. Similar if I only counted the food I ate while “dieting” (or “having a meal”) and not the food I eat while “snacking” or “being hungry” or other definitions of what doesn’t count.
