How many calories does crossfit burn? I couldn't find it in the exercise data base. Thanks.

    It's hard to tell as it's so varied. Between 300 and 450 I find generally, for an hours class. Tracked with a HRM.

    But some days that'll be more weightlifting, some days more cardio

    I used to estimate around 300. now with my garmin it estimates anywhere from 180 to 450, it all depends on the intensity of the class, what the workout is and how long it is.

    It will not burn enough to give you permission to overeat and eat poorly. But over time the calories you use by exercising vigorously do add up.
    Will it miraculously make you skinny if you are overweight and just do Crossfit without changing anything else?
    No.
    But do it consistently for a year and you will look better.
