Americans are the laziest people on the planet, according to a new survey.

Out of those four categories, the US was first in calories and watching the most TV - enough for the top spot.

The Canadians came second after leading the planet in Internet usage.

Belgium, a nation known for its waffles, beer and pomme frittes, stood third while Turkey landed the fourth spot.
