Question
Hello! I just was wondering if there was a certain equation to work out how many calories I burn when I exercise? Because I've tried a few of the calorie burner calculators out there and I get a different answer from each.

Thank you,
Kaitlynn

Answer
Hello Kaitlynn!

   Thank you for your nutrition question.  Accurate determination of the calories you burn can only be accomplished by individual physiological testing. However, the following calculator at:http://www.nutritiondata.com/calories-burned.html provides a reasonable estimate of your needs, and can be used to quickly compare the effects of different exercises on your total energy expenditure.
This Calories Burned Calculator uses the most recent set of metabolic equations and physical activity coefficients developed by the Food and Nutrition Board, Institute of Medicine (IOM).  Let me know if you have more questions.
