How to figure out how many calories one can burn by sitting idle and doing absolutely nothing at all?

Varies, but some: What you are describing is your basal metabolic rate - the number of calories you burn at rest. This will vary depending on your gender, age, heredity and how muscular you are. If you google BMR you will find tables that give you an approximation.
