    Hi,

    I was wondering how I can possibly burn 1000 calories a day as a lightweight female person? Any suggestions?

    Many thanks!
    How much time do you have?
    You can break it up into a few workouts....walking, cycling or incline bike, a run. If you get in an early morning burn like weight training and HIIT on a bike, your metabolism increases for quite a few hours. Then walks or stairs during the day ( like during breaks), then a bike ride at the end. Your metabolism will be stoked for the entire 24 hours.
    Do you wear a tracker?

    Is it possible to burn that amount?

    I do every Tuesday (an hour of lifting followed by an hour on a bike at a minimum of a level 11 resistance) and Wednesday (10 minutes of jumping jacks/lunges/squats, 50 minutes of Tabata, an hour of Pilates, then an hour of yoga). They are my two big days at the gym and I burn right around 1000 both days. I work in at least another three hours at some point during the week.

    50 minutes of Tabata? Tabata workouts are not 50 minutes long and if you make it pass 10 minutes you're doing them wrong.

    What i thought. isnt Tabata 13 minutes? Also very hard to estimate burns.

    Ofc its possible to burn that much but it requires the duration and reasonable intensity.

    Tabata is base off the EPOC afterburn. usually it is double the work to rest ratio. 13 minutes of Tabata would be very diffcult. Very near impossible for the right go hard concept on work periods.

    Yep I know what it is thought I was reading a tababa based workout that was 13 minutes. Epoc is very difficult to calculate.
    Tabata is an early form of high-intensity interval training (HIIT), started in the 1990s by Japanese professor Izumi Tabata. (He used it to get speed skaters in shape for the Olympics.) It involves short, four-minute bouts of explosive interval moves done for 20 seconds each for eight rounds, with a 10-second break between each round.

    Tabata is technically a 4 minute HIIT workout.

    @LITtlerMeCO so you know what Tabata workouts are suppose to be.
    In show previous quotes.

    Many thanks for your answers!

    Just to add: I do not have a tracker so I usually count in only half of the calories in MFP. So it would have to be 2000 cal or 1000 real calories then...

    And I need to do it today to balance out....

    Ah! I was wondering what the definition of a real calorie was. I mean, I knew we used the term calorie when we actually meant kilocalorie. So, you want to burn a million calories, and since you figure MFP is 100% overstated, you really want to burn 2 million calories in a day. The magic eight ball says, “run a marathon.”

    @Ninkyou: you are totally right in questionning my behaviour! I am working on my issues with bingeaing and trying to establish a better mealtime routine and better spread of calories over the day as awel as I am generally working on the bingeing. I totally agree with you that "making up" for overeating with exercise is not the solution, this only is maybe ok for a scoop of ice cream too much or so, but not for bingeing....it is better to go on with the normal routine after a binge. But in general, I am interested in how to burn a lot ;O) still.
