What has been your highest calorie burn in one day from *Exercises???? and what exercises were you doing???

*I'm NOT talking about walking around the mall all day or your daily calories burned at work or something like that!!

I was just curious cause I know there are lots of runners, swimmers, and athletes out there! :D

I'd say the most I've had was around 700 to 800 calories burned from doing the Elliptical and P90X in one day! I am no athlete!

    Well... I didn't add it up, but Sunday I did:

    1.5 hours tennis
    1.5 hours Volleyball
    1.5-2 hours basketball
    6 mile run @ 7.5mph

    Oh, and 100 pushups after my run ;)

    Probably 6000- 8000 during a 52 mile, 10,000ft elevation gain, hike that had me cross the Grand Canyon twice in 19 hours!

    I'm going to guess over 5000 during any of the Half Ironman races I completed (5 hours of racing hard)

    1250 calories in 60 minutes on high intensity kickboxing class with gloves! I must have thrown well over 800 kicks during that time!

    If MFP had an export function or a robust way to query the data we've logged (nudge nudge, Mike), I could get an exact answer. My guesstimate answer is about 1200-1500 calories doing around 40 miles of cycling.

    Over 1000 before I injured myself (exercise injury). Now I am burning around 400-500 4-5 days a week.
