Other than during cardio, how do know how many calories you burn during a intense workout, and the rest of the day?? Thanks.

by your results....

bigger, burning less than you eat
smaller, burning more than you eat

.....? add up your daily cal intake and see what is your maitnence cals.. compare the two..

a good indicator of your maitnence cals is the harris bendicte formula..

wasnt he asking for how many he burns during a workout, and at various times during the day? is there a way to actually determine that?

you cant estimate it.. i would be terribly hard to get it to an exact number without being monitored in a lab..

I did the Harris Benedict, I was just curious if there was a way to tell how many calories are burndt during the course of the day to include weightlifting?? If I don't know how much I'm burning, how do I really know if im under my HB of 3556 or over it?? My meals currently consist of around 4200 calories daily..

thats alot of calories, IMO you are probably not burning more than 4200. but you could be. in the harris benedict thing i believe it asks you how active you are during the day, that is where the answer for you question comes in. if you are very active and lift everyday, it should put that into the formula and give you an estimate of how many calories your body needs to stay the same weight.

Thanks..

the thing about the formula is that people think that thier level of activity is higher then it accualy is.. being that if you work out and do cardio doesnt mean your extreamly active.. cause if your laying on a couch in between it does you no good..
