I found this chart on the Harvard Health Publications website, so its gotta be somewhat reliable, right?

Anyway it lists the approximate calories burned doing a variety of activities (from water polo to planting trees) for three different weights. Obviously it isn't going to be exactly right but it can give you an idea.

    Surprisingly..... yeah, the figures look ok.

    it's 17 calories out for the 30min elliptical i did today... which is pretty damn good :)
