    I was logging it as 150 to be on the safe side. Recently got a HRM And it's about 240 on level 2. I'm 165 and squishy.

    I do think that as you continue to do the program you need to work harder at it to get the same calorie burn. I think you really do need to feel like your gargling your heart.

    I'm 5'7 and around the 150lb mark, and my HRM says I burn about 140 for both levels 1 & 2 (haven't started L3 yet), which is a LOT less than MFP estimate for me if I put in circuit training!

    What the site was giving me for circuit training was way too high, which I discovered after I replaced the battery in my heart rate monitor. My first day I burned 161 calories and on a bad day it was like 145. By the end of level 2 I was burning close to 300 calories, but since I started level 3, it's been 200 to 250.

    myfitnesspal gives me a lot more than JM website does so I use her formula to be sure.

    Multiply 3.267 x your weight and that is how many calories burned in an hour. I then divide by 3 since the warm up and cool down are considered exercise but not intense. I get only 185 calories burned but if I use circuit on here its over 200!

    3.267 x weight of 174 = 586.458/3=189.486

    Why don't you just multiply your weight by 1.089 (3.267/3 = 1.089). It would give you the same thing.

    thanks so much, that really helps! Does the formula change for Level 2 because it is a harder work out?

    I'm 191lbs and I burnt an average of 280 - 300 on level one when I first tried it and now (I'm more fit) I burn an average of 200 - 240 doing it. I have the Polar FT4 HRM. Best thing I've ever bought.

    I think it's really more of an estimate. Your calories burned will vary from day to day as you lose weight, become more fit, or exert less or more energy. The only way to know how much you're REALLY burning every day (as closely as possible, that is) is to get a heart rate monitor. I got mine at Wal-Mart for $20--you wear it like a watch and it's recommended that you check it every time you change intensity (you just put your fingers on the monitors and wait a second or too. That said, if you're serious about your lifestyle and you absolutely must know how many calories you're burning, splurge on a really good monitor. I question the validity of my total calories burned, as it's been reporting my heart rate in the 220s and 230s from the middle to the end of my higher cardio workouts (and even after my cool-down, stretch sometimes). I don't eat back my exercise calories unless I'm super hungry, so it doesn't make that big a deal to me, but what works for me might not work for you.

    I am 33yo, 5'2", 162 pounds - I burn about 120 calories (I have a bodymedia fit). I went outside to jog a little this morning instead of doing 30ds and buned 180 calories... not sure I'm going to continue with 30ds...

    I''ve been using MFP's "calisthenics, vigorous" and also wearing an HRM. The MFP estimate is above my HRM--I've been averaging about 160 cals for 30DS level 1.

    btw, I am 37yoF, 5'4", 149 lbs.

    you know, I've had a problem with the monitors too. they say you shouldnt go over 178 but walking on a tread mill that takes my measurments says Im at 170 long before I feel tired or sweaty. I never understand that...How can I be at my full potential and not even feel winded?

    Get a heart rate monitor. Using your heart rate is the best way to judge how many calories you are really burning.
