Calorie Burn Rate Calculator
Your weight affects the number of calories you burn. Heavier people burn more calories. Always be sure to check with your healthcare provider before starting any exercise program. Fill in your weight. Then the tool will give you a rough estimate of how many calories you will burn for different activities. This tool is based on estimates from the ESHA Nutrient Database and Harvard Health. Estimates vary.
