If you're a 50 year old, 5' tall, 100 lbs lady, then sure.

The basal metabolic rate for a 30 year old male who is 5'10" and 160lbs is 1700 calories. So that's how many calories they burn by merely existing and breathing and being warmblooded. Your argument is that someone working from home only uses a max of an extra 100 calories a day over BMR? Doubtful.
