How do you count calories burned during crossfit workouts here?

    Yeah, good question. I'd like to know that too.

    It's very tough. I calculate my calorie burn via total daily energy expenditure calculations (TDEE, google it for the calculators) and eat at a 20% deficit to that number and just count my workouts on here as 1 calorie burned.

    the workouts are far too varied to just create a "Crossfit" category and expect it to accurately track the burn.

    Crossfit workouts fall into a few basic categories: calisthenics, high impact aerobics (plyometrics), or circuit training. Figure out which one the WOD most commonly fits into and adjust for intensity.

    This is what I do as well

    I wore an HRM for a year. Averaged about 336 calories for a 60 minute class, 400ish for a HERO WOD.

    I'm 5'4, 135, 32 years old.
