    Im no expert but I believe it has to do with the way the calories burned are measured, for instance, most people use a HRM which is more specific being that it takes in consideration your specific weight, heigt and age, therefore giving you a specific calorie burned per workout. Hope that helps some.

    I use a HRM to track my calories and usually only get about 150-200 calories while doing 30DS.

    a HRM is the only real way of knowing. I've burned anywhere from 212 to 325 calories doing the same level depending how hard I work. Everyone is going to get a different burn.

    I did the 30 DS and counted it as 25 min of circuit training. I'm 5'8" and 144lbs. It calculated out to around 200 calories. Depending on your fitness level and how much you weigh it can change the amount of calories you burn. Someone who weighs more might burn more calories than you do. You can do a few searches for programs that allow you to put in your height, weight, age and then use your heartrate to determine how many calories you are burning. That's basically all a HRM does for you, but it's more convenient. I don't use one.

    I would still only eat your recommended amount of calories. dont eat more because you worked out.
