how many calories do you burn in a day?

Usually about 600-700 at the gym and another few hundred during the day with steps and working around the house. Wish I could burn 2000/2500.
I think they're talking about total burn for the day - so, your exercise PLUS your activity, PLUS the general calories you burn just being alive. At least that's how I interpreted the question. Most people here aren't really burning 2000-3000 calories on exercise every day.4 -

my observed TDEE is about 2200 if I'm getting 10K+ steps (closer to 12K maybe)0

2300-2400 on average (averaging out workout days and rest days)

2600 average, found from tracking intake/body weight, not Fitbit numbers. Fitbit doesn't know me.0

How many calories do you burn on a normal day and on a workout day?
My non exercise maintenance is around 2400...exercise is variable, but my maintenance overall tends to be anywhere from about 2800-3000. My calorie burns from exercise can vary quite a bit depending on what I'm doing, but everything just averages out in the end...I don't train for a specific calorie burn, so they are just dependent on whatever the protocol is on that particular day.1 -
I just got a Fitbit Charge 2 a few weeks ago so I'm working on figuring that out. Apparently I'm more active than I realized on non-workout days. So far acc. to Fitbit I've been burning 2100-2300 on non-workout days and usually 2200-2500 on workout days. (I'm a 40y/o female, 5'7" and 131 lbs, and now in maintenance.)0

Depends on the day.1 -
It really depends for me. I normally do some sort of exercise every day but if I do not, I am lucky to hit around 1700-1800 calories burned. I am 5'6 1/2" and weigh 159.5 currently. With exercise, my average daily burn is anywhere from 2100-2300. I do burn more on weekends because I am moving around a lot more (work a desk job during week). I rarely see a burn over 2500 calories and when I do, I get excited lol. I have to move literally all day and exercise for an hour or two to see that number though. This is all according to my fitbit as well....0

Don't know how many I burn as I have never tried to track that number. But I could work backward to get it, from what I eat and my rate or weight loss. Just not worth the trouble for me.0
