Ran the calculations some time ago, and donating a half liter of blood gets rid of about 500kcal, which I can easily manage to do in under half hour not counting the paperwork. I think the only more calorie-consuming activity I can think of is liposuction or mutilation of body parts. Not that I recommend either, just a random thought.

You certainly do not burn 400 calories every 30 minutes at rest either. Remember, there's 48 periods of 30 minutes in a day and about 2000 calories to get through a day; at rest it's probably around 40 if we just evenly divide calories per 30 minute period.

Yeah, tbh I didn't bother looking at what would/could be truly burned at rest, that was lazy of me. Just wanted to indicate how far off "burning" 400 in that way was.
