The brain uses about 20% of your body’s energy usage.
Using a conversion conversion chart, from calories to wattage, 300 calories = about 0.3489 watts/day. So, the average brain uses around 0.3489 watts/day.
The human body is amazingly efficient.

Near the end of the article…
“A computer can play Go and even beat humans…But it will take a computer something like 100 kilowatts to do so while our brains do it for just 20 watts.”
So the brain is 5,000 times more power efficient.
