There is no RIGHT answer

Bit of a wide range - I get 231 for an hour of strength training and 4500 for a 9 hour cycle ride.
Doing what? How measured/estimated?I've been getting 350-400 in 45 mins to an hour
Is their name Pinocchio by any chance? Watch their noses very carefully...I am just getting into the gym and I know some people do that in 20 mins.
Or maybe they are world class athletes, maybe.
I do 20 mins on elliptical which gives me about 200 and the treadmill gives me about 150 for 30 mins...(keep in mind I am heavy so I burn more calories) there was a gal on the treadmill ahead of me today, and she had 305 for 30 mins on the treadmill...granted she was running pretty much the whole 30 mins...and she's not the 1st one I've seen do that...I don't think it's that uncommon
Ah OK that's more reasonable - those numbers are very different to 350 - 400 in twenty minutes though!
By the way "comparison is the thief of joy", there's always someone faster/fitter/stronger.....
Or in my case - younger!
Sorry, I meant people do that in 30 mins lol...oh I am not really trying to "compare" I know right now I can't compete with most people, how ever, there are some I could out perform...I was just curious about people's daily routines and such..I'm a people watcher and there were more people at the gym today so it peaked my interest0 -
Varies, depending on activity & duration, but about 30% fewer than I used to get for exactly the same activities when I weighed about 30% more.
In summer, something between 300-400 most days for rowing on-water or spinning 45 minutes to an hour or so, add a little for light in-season weight training a couple times a week. Add another few hundred if I add a bike ride or long-ish walk. (All but weight training estimated by heart rate monitor that knows my actual resting & max HR as well as size/age).
I'm 61, 5'5", about 130 pounds.0 -

Op, i wouldn't even know where to start in telling you how many i bur during excessive. Id guess 200 to 300 on lifting days and maybe 400 to 500 when i cycle.
What's more important is my average daily expenditure, which is roughly 3k. Because that is where i create my deficit.3 -
I don't do cardio. I assume if I run 2 miles I burn less than 200 calories. My lifting sessions are 2 hours long and I never assume a calorie burn. It's always fit into my "lightly active" life style.1

Love all these replies...I try to be open minded about most things, because know one knows EVERYTHING and seeing how you all track things and getting some averages as random as they are, actually helps...the only thing I am firm on is cico...but how you achieve that deficit is what's interesting and educational to me

I didn't even read it..not willing to entertain the notion, as I said..been there done that..not for me....
On the days I work it's very hard to track my calories out, I work 12 hour days, running (sometimes literally if my machine happens to catch fire) all day long...2 15 min breaks and no sitting other than that...but I think I got a way to figure it out0 -

I am pretty consistent with exercise. So i ran a tdee calculator and tracked calories for a month. From there i adjusted based on real data. Thos way i can eat the same calories daily without having tp chase exercise calories based off estimates.0 -

And I'm sure a site named "ketovangelist" is the epitome of an unbiased scientific source.
Keto is completely unnecessary for weight loss or health. In fact, it's no more effective than any other diet which creates a caloric deficit. It's one possible path to the destination, but it's not the One True Path.2 -

I am kind of doing the same, only my tdee changes drastically based on if it is a work day or a non work day...so I am tracking for both, and making adjustments as needed in my log for my tdee..it's a crazy mess..but I don't think it will be so bad once I get used to it0 -

Agreed! And it's just to much for me, especially when I know there are other, more flavorful, enjoyable ways to create a decifit1 -
So I know there is no right answer to this question, everyone is different and something is better than nothing, so here is my question..
Just out of curiosity. ...how many calories do you burn in a work out?
I know there are so many types of work out plans and what not...I've been getting 350-400 in 45 mins to an hour, I am just getting into the gym and I know some people do that in 20 mins...I'm just curious to see others calorie burns
It depends what I do.
I cycle ... so I use the rough calculation 100 calories for every 5 km. Strava and MFP give me something a little bit lower than that which is what I actually log, but while I'm riding I have a reasonable guess using 100 cal for every 5 km.
So when I do a short 25 km ride, that's 500 cal, roughly. When I do a ride like I did today that is 50 km, that's 1000 cal, roughly. When I rode the 300 km ride at Easter, that's 6000 calories. We went out for a large dinner the next day.

Yeah, me too. Weekends I go hiking or on long bike rides. How much I burn during the week depends on what kind of obligations I have. Some days I can do a longish ride after work, other days I have to run a lot of errands - we live in a city so I do most of that on foot.
I have a pretty swanky watch, I tell it I'm cycling/lifting/running/whatever, it will track everything, and store all the data on the web. Very little effort on my part, and I get great reports and whatnot. I would want the data anyway even if it wasn't for calories - maps of where I went, how much power I exerted, how my heart reacted to the effort.0 -

All outside, I hate being in doors.
Tomorrow and Sunday are my main work out days. Monday is the only rest day but I still walk 5 miles.
Today I burnt 806 running 72 minutes and walking 4 miles.0
