minus-squareTar_Alcaran@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·edit-230 days ago20% of your bodies energy is about 20 Watts. Normal-weight humans burn about 2200 kilocalories a day, which is about 9.2 megajoules. There are 8640 seconds in a day, so that works out to roughly 100 joules per second, or 100 Watt. 20% of that is 20 Watts for the brain.
