Maybe it's not about calories or even being active. Maybe it's about perspective.

When I'm standing (or even better walking), I tend to have a much more "knock out the open issues" mentality. It's not a panacea, when I need to think deeply about something sitting down to do it is preferable. But the change in perspective you get from standing up can be as important as any health benefits.

Personally I wish I could do more of my meetings walking around the green areas around my office or home.
