    I aim for 3000 a week by exercise, its sometimes less or more and taking control of diet helps :):happy:

    I don't really have an aim to burn so many calories, I just work out 6 days a week and work as hard as I can at whatever workout I'm doing. However on average I burn around 3000 calories a week, I also use a HRM.

    If you go to Reports and then click Fitness, you can look back at you calorie burn for up to 3 months.

    I aim for 2000 per week but control my intake of food to make up the remainder of what I need to lose. If you go into reports you can find out what you did in previous weeks.

    Step by Step, how did you find this out? Do you calculate it or has it been calculated already?

    I burn about 10,000 a week but that's because I love to eat :) I eat almost all of that back.

    Step by step:

    1. Log into MFP website
    2. Click the Reports tab at the top of the page
    3. Click the Fitness radio button
    4. Choose a Report -> Calories Burned
    5. Reporting Period -> Last 30 days

    My weekly target is 3,500 - what a coincidence! :wink:

    First four weeks of this month have been much higher (6000, 5300, 4500 & 4600) as I'm training for an endurance event.

    I aim for 3,500 also. And I usually manage to exceed it by 100 or so!

    Looks like I've averaging about 3000. But I try to eat them back and stick to my planned weight loss of 1/2 pound per week.

    I don't aim for calorie burn. I run 20-25 miles a week and generally burn 3000-3500 cal a week, but it's the milage I aim for.
