Hi all,

I'm 47 and more than a little out of shape. That said, I started Zumba 3x a week about 7 months ago and just started crossfit classes 2 weeks ago. I absolutely love it (as painful as the first few weeks have been). I've been trying to figure out how many calories to enter for workouts in my food/exercise log. Any idea? Also, crossfit made me HUNGRY the first week. Seems to be getting better although I can't eat for a bit after a work out. Hehe. Thanks!

    everyday there is a different workout so every day the caloric burn can vary dramatically.

    Best bet is to get a HRM and use that although with this type of activity it will most likely over estimate you burn as HRM's assume steady state cardio.

    Thanks, Eric. Trying to figure out if I'm eating enough or too much. I guess the scale and my jeans will be the judge...
