Is there a formula out there that can be used to calculate (estimate)
How many calories one has burned during an exercise session of a given time and intensity?
I imagine this would be based on age, weight, body fat%, height, gender, time, and workout intensity
For example, I saw on a website (http://www.nutritiondata.com/tools/calories-burned) that gave such an estimation.
I said I was 24yrs old, 6ft, 245lbs, had a very active life style and ran for 45minutes at 5.2mph
Using some formula (I’m trying to figure out what that formula is) it said I burned around 856kCal from jogging.
Any ideas on what the mathematical formula is?
Are there any better formulas out there?
I would like to know the specific mathematical formula, so I can plug it into my excel spread sheet to monitor my progress.
Thanks guys.
