If that's true, that makes more sense.

Would that hold true for someone who just has better musculature in their legs, and needs more calories to maintain that muscle? I suppose the average difference in oxygen consumption standing versus sitting wouldn't necessarily be impacted by muscle any more than it would be by anything else.

Fair enough!
