    No two people will have the same numbers, some will have a several hundred calorie difference. You would need to know each persons lean body mass plus their heart rate during the entire activity and probably a few other bits of information to get an accurate number.

    Thanks for the reply Fire. I am just wanting to get, more or less, a guesstimate. Let me rephrase the question. My cardio consists of 45 minutes on the ellyptical in the AM, fasted. I do 2 minutes moderate, then 1 minute as fast as I can. I do 15 intervals like this.

    My stats are:

    26yo
    5'9"
    164lbs
    about 14-15%bf

    Can you give me a rough idea of how many calories I can burn during this exercise. Even if it's within a hundred cals or so, it's better than what I got now, becuase I'm absolutely clueless. Thanks!

    Fireguy is right. VERY difficult to give you a guess. We can't see how hard you are working. "as fast as I can" may mean something entirley dif to you than it does to someone else. We don't know how fast you "can" etc.. It also as fireguy stated depends greatly on where your heart rate is at. THAT will depend on several diff factors. Some from your body and some from your environment.
    Very very rough ballpark guess based on what I know and what I assume - 400-500
