I wear a heart rate monitor that shows my calorie burn, I average 700-1000 calories burned per hour depending on what p90x workout i do. There are other factors like knowing your target heart rate, and how hard you push during your workouts......hope this helps, good luck with your goals.0

Getting a HRM that uses a chest strap is the only way to get a close-to accurate number. Don't go off anyone else's number because there are way too many y variables and we all burn at different rates.0 -

Simple steps
1\ Figure out how many calories you are burning through HRM or the website below..
http://p90xcalories.com/
2\ Go to Exercise tab up top then click on My Exercises link right below the Exercise tab.
3\ Press the green Create Exercise button which will take you to a new page.
4\ Now here you enter the information for the exercise, there are 4 spaces fill them like the example below.
Exercise Description: P90X Chest & Back
Exercise Type. : Cardiovascular
How long. : 55. ( based on how long the DVD is or how long you lasted)
Calories Burned. : 428 (this number you obtained from step 1)
5\ Add Exercise
I hope this helps the people who are lost or confused, these instruction are for the web based interface and not the Mobile app, I can make one set of instruction for that too if someone needs it.0 -

Heart rate monitor is the only way to go in my opinion. When I have checked out some of the "p90x calories burned calculators" out there they were estimating easily 3-4 times what I am actually burning. And since I eat back my exercise calories that would be a huge issue if I did not go by my heart rate monitor.0
