I am trying to figure out how many calories I have burned this weekend. Friday went out for 4 hours and we chopped, rolled and stacked firewood. This is extremely exhausting, I was sweating the entire time. Went out again for again for another 4 hours and did the same thing. Needless to say I am tired, my body hurts and I have no idea how many calories I burned. Anybody have any ideas?

I was just about to come back and post the same after realizing that my first response wasn't very helpful. :happy:

It is actually in the database here on MFP! Just go to Exercise and then database and look it up!0

Thanks all, I did find it on google, Farmers Almanac. It was said that you burn about 400 to 500 calories per hour. Spent about 4 1/2 hours doing this so it is a very good exercise and boy do I feel it. My aim for tomorrow is to walk 3 miles.0
