How to calculate calories

chmommy85

when I enter the exercise I do it asks how many calories I burned....how do I calculate that?! For example, sit ups, leg lifts, jumping jacks...how do u know calories are burning and how fast?

I don't even use that. I use a calculator that estimates my BMR and my activity level, and then it gives me a total calorie count to eat for the day. It's a heck of a lot easier for me to do it this way, rather than trying to log my exercise and then the food, and eating back half. There are a few of these on the internet that are free calculators but I like this one.
