What is a good entry to put in for caloric burn for a typical 45min F3 workout? 500 calories seem about right?
Something between 45 mins of IWs and Hairburners - good middle of the road hard workout stuff.

Maybe a bit conservative... but close enough for government work... and I am a government worker.0

For a typical bootcamp, I've been labeling it "Calisthenics (pushups, sit-ups), vigorous effort" and 45-min or an hour depending on workout day. Not saying it's right, just what I've been doing.
For the running days, I use my Strava/Runkeeper results and then tinker with timing until I'm close on the app.0 -
Based on rule of thumb and garmin run oriented calorie burn data over the years, my estimate is that a 45 minute bootcamp is good for 350 - 450 calories. Run workout calorie burn comes to me directly from my device. If you are doing this to lose weight then you should go conservative with `350ish while if you are looking to maintain or gain, then ride up that line towards ~450 land. Just my $0.02.0

This link has some useful estimates from the Mayo Clinic on various exercises- http://www.mayoclinic.org/ /art-20050999. Since they are based on a 1-hour workout, you can just take 75% of the value and maybe subtract 50 or so calories to keep it conservative.0

I agree with gnarlygoat. Don't let perfection get in the way of progress. I used the MFP calorie burn calculator, and came up with about 500 calories for a Kettle Bell Beatdown ( http://f3nation.com/2015/01/05/what-happened-at-tradition-didnt-stay-there/) . I think if several of us give it a shot, we can come up with a good range. See if you can see the workout at this link... http://www.myfitnesspal.com/exercise/lookup_my_exercise/438331360
