    Between 300-500 usually. Less if it's a light day or more if I've got something unusual going on such as a family hike or a big shopping trip. (No I don't count every quick trip to the store but the once a month that I go and spend 2-3 hours loading up on $200-300 of food and pushing it around in the cart, loading it (have to bag your own at WINCO which is where the big trips happen cause it saves money!) and unloading it, putting it away and so on....yeah SO going in my journal!! Looked up how much you burn per hour shopping with a cart and took an average and just go with that so I get some credit at least!! :O)

    I don't think of burning calories in exercise (which I think is what you are referring to here) specifically.

    I go for a 1 hour walk 5 times a week
    I do 3 x weight training workouts a week
    and 2 x HIIT sessions

    If I do that, and eat under my TDEE but over my BMR, I figure the fat will go away and before the end of the year I'll be at goal.
