I have no idea how to log calories burned with crossfit. How do you all who crossfit do it?

    I simply assign a number I am comfortable with per minute. If I’m trying to lose weight that’s 1 or 2 calories a minute, if I’m in maintenance around 7 calories a minute.

    Having said that, there’s no way to create a formula that accurately track most CrossFit a WODs. They are, by nature, constantly varied. Unless you are doing a HERO or a benchmark, you shouldn’t repeat it for awhile. Some workouts have Olympic lifting, others are all body weight; some have sprints, some have distance; some have gymnastics, and most gave a combination of two or three of these.

    I would use the circuits workout and input about 300 calories worth. Now i have my activity tracker i let that sort it out though i know it is not very good at estimating anything other than steady state cardio. 300 seems to be a good average estimate when i compare that number against what my garmin gives but thats suitable for me. if you are heavier, lighter, taller, shorter, older, younger your results will be different.
