I expect Bill was just referring to the resting calorie burn rate.
“I expect Bill was just referring to the resting calorie burn rate.”
Better bet is that it’s a reference to the non-resting rate.
6048 calories a day is resting burn rate?
I am guessing there is a scientific paper somewhere that measured calorie expenditure rate for a certain activity. I would not be surprised if there was, for I know of another scientific paper dealing with an MRI scan of said activity. Give it time and they will be doing that activity.
Could it be what the slow dancing usually led to afterwards that burned more calories?
Bob explained Bill’s comment (and numbers). I’m still hoping someone can explain the strip.
@Arthur: They’ve been dancing all week. I don’t think it was ever stated they were doing it for exercise, but Janis seems to think so. Now they’re slow dancing and she’s complaining they aren’t getting any exercise doing that. Arlo suggests that slow dancing will eventually lead to a more vigorous activity.
And this strip stuck me with the joke about Baptists not having sex standing up, because they’re afraid it will lead to dancing.
Arlo is a bit of a horn dog isn’t he?
Humor rather than “a scientific study,” but for what it’s worth:
@ Mark M: With a dish like Janis, who wouldn’t be?
@ Mark in Boston: MRI? Surely that would limit both position and the vigour of the activity.
Janis isn’t exactly celibate, either.
@Singapore Bill: Yes, it did. The participants had to remain immobile for periods of time. But it resulted in successful images. If you search for it on the Web you will easily find it. There is even an animation made from a series of still images.
Comics I Don't Understand 
And yet another Arlo Arlo.
Arlo. Arlo indeed. Bill’s title, though, is a TIDU.

Just figured that out, did we?
