    The most I've done is probably about 2,200 calories and this is when I go cycling. It would be about 33-35 miles at a pace of approximately 16-18mph on average for the entire trip!

    My biggest burn so far was a 10 mile hike with a 25 pound pack on. I burned about 3,300 cals that day.

    Guys just to say number ine how did u count ur calories and number 2 between about 3000 and 4500 cal per day is the most amount anyone could burn even if they were exersizing all day. I burnt just over 2000 calories today by. : getting up at six and riding a 3 hour bike ride, at 9.30,I did 100 squats with 10 kg weights in each hand followed by about 50 pressups then I went for a walk till 12:30 then did 7.5 hours of running (no exaggeration) followed by 1/2 a hours quick byciclying and I only just burnt 2250 cals .. Also children burn more than adults. I have a nike fuel band to count my calories..

    A long distance inline tour skating event in Holland. 140 km in 6 hours plus four 15 minute breaks for food, so the event was 7 hours total. I hit the wall (total glycogen depletion) near the end. Guessing 3000 kcal burned.

    2,300 from the Rock N Roll Half Marathon in Las Vegas in 2012 (only burned 2,000 when I did the Rock N Roll halfy in Chicago in July of that same year).

    About 1800 from 3 hours of cycling.
    Though I regularly have 900-1200 calorie burns anyway.

    It's really hard to calculate, because it really depends on your baseline activity level.

    My overall total highest was 3900 with a heavy lifting session, lots of walking and about three hours dancing, but the exercise deduction was 1800 calories on a 2100 calorie baseline.

    4962 on 2/19 if MFP's calories are somewhere close. Though I usually subtract 20%. Normally I don't really pay much attn to numbers given. Just do my thing.

    3870 cals........8hrs of shoveling (heavy and deep)
    1092 cals........2hrs spinning (moderate pace)

    My goal is 2hrs spinning 5 days/wk. Some days ok, some not.

    I'm figuring my FT7 heart rate monitor can be trusted here- my max was 1700 burned on a 50K bike ride in which I got lost so it was something over 50. Not sure what I turned during that 24-hour period since the FT7 is meant more for workout sessions. Have done 1200-1400 on other bike rides and sprint triathlons.

    I honestly have no clue. Ruck marching over 25 miles while carrying 80 pounds has to burn a couple calories.
