You cannot pull a calorie estimate from insanity using a database. It obviously depends on how hard you push yourself, how many breaks you take, and various other factors such as age, weight, height, and heart rate.

Simple carbs (such as white bread, white rice, basically any simple sugars) gets digested quickly and causes what we know as insulin spikes which is…

Might I suggest using a HRM that calculates calories burned while taking into consideration your age, weight, and total time spent working out. The only reason I say this is cause many of the times using a database to estimate calories burned can be completely far off from the actual calories burned. I've recently gotten…
