One thing I would have to say about myfitnesspal, is that it doesnt list a lot of my workouts I like to do. For those that do the 30 day shred-how many calories do you count for each workout? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Circuit training 20 minutes for me its like 297 it should range from 225 to 300 i think0

Ok, great. Thanks!0

I used to just log it as 100 calories but I have upped it to 200 calories. It depends on your weight also. I'm sure I don't burn more than 200 on any of the levels.0

I've read around the boards that using circuit training, general is good for 30 DS. I found, though, that it calculated more calories than my heart rate monitor showed me, so I put mine in myself. But that's because the HRM gives me a pretty accurate count of how many calories *I'm* burning... But at least you'll have a decent idea if you use circuit training, general. My burn is about 60-90 calories less than what MFP gives me if I use that, though, so you may want to keep it in mind. HTH1

My heart rate monitor show me burning between 130- 160 per workout. I'm 111 lbs and fairly fit if that helps.0

I found this formula on the Jillian Michaels site, it might help.
30 day shred calorie burn - 3.267 calories burnt per pound every hour. Multiply by weight to get how many calories per hour you would burn and divide by 3 to get each 20 minute work out
A HRM is also a good tool.1 -
jm says its high impact cardio so i use that and it comes up . hope that helps0

Someone suggested somewhere to take the figure MFP gives you and subtract 30% and that gives you what is almost correct, I dont eat back all my calories so I leave it as is and count my exercise minutes only so..0

invest in a Heart Rate Monitor!! You'll be glad you did!! I promise!!0

I too log it as circuit training 25 min and i burn anywhere from 190-270. Yes, you can clearly see I try harder on some days more than others.0

The best way to get an accurate measure of the calories burned is to either use a heart rate monitor, or if your budget allows, an arm band such as Body Media Fit or Body Bugg. I have a Body Media Fit and absolutely love it. But, that being said, before I had the arm band, I would log it on MFP as Circuit Training - General for however long I worked out. I did find that the calorie count was typically higher than what I found out I was burning once I got my armband, so just make sure that if you plan to eat back most of your exercise calories, give yourself a little wiggle room at the end of the day. Good luck to you!0

I weigh 180lbs and I burn between 200 and 250 cals when I do the shred! Last time I did it, circa a week ago I burnt 234 (HRM)0

I do circuit training, general, for 22 minutes and it puts it at 175 calories.0

Circuit training 25 minutes. The amount of calories lost depends on your weight.0

I log 150 calories for the first level.0

I do the same. I initially logged it as "circuit training - general", but I felt the calorie burn listed was too high. I don't have a HRM so 150 was just an estimate based off other averages, but I just tried out the formula that someone posted -- and that came out to 150, too.
Since weight loss isn't really my main goal, I'm not too concerned if the calories aren't "exact". I just like keeping track of my time and exercise and having a "general" idea of what I'm burning/eating.0 -

Neat, thanks! Comes up a little higher than MFP for me though logged as circuit training (140ish cals); per your calc, 162 cals for 20 min (full video is 27 min but I did NOT count warm/up and cool down). Of course a HRM is ideal, the watch-style one I had said about 120-160 cals depending on the day before it broke. With 30DS is burns so little cals I don't actively eat them back, <200 is a good safety net for the day. That would be my recommendation, log them but don’t eat them.0
