Calorie Burn During Deal Sprints

They say that chess grandmasters burn a ton of calories during world class level tournaments. Is a really busy stretch in m&a the same thing? You don't get a lot of steps in but your mind is in overdrive. 

I often come home exhausted, extra hungry, etc on deal sprints. Wonder if it's burning some extra cals naturally?

Most smartwatches track calories but if you really want precision you could wear a chest HR strap.
