Infrared Saunas

At home I have an infrared sauna that I use in addition to my exercise plan. However, I have no idea how many calories this burns. I know there is a lot of forums out there, but the numbers they give are typically quite a large range, and depends on the type of sauna. I would also think it depends on the temperature of the sauna, but that may just be my own assumption. So I guess I am asking, has anyone found a reliable source quoting the number of calories burned in an infrared sauna?? Thanks in advance everyone!!

    Do you really burn calories in a sauna? I always thought it was only a sweat released from the pores for cleansing purposes. Sweat usually has to be replaced by drinking more water, sometimes with electrolytes. I never heard there was a weight loss benefit from saunas.

    I'm probably wrong, but that's not unusual.
