How much do calories-burned per activity calculators overestimate by?
I went here https://www.healthstatus.com/calculate/cbc
Plugged in my gender, height, weight
Chose 60 minutes of running 8 miles per hour
It estimates 942 calories burned. It seems absurdly over to me since it's only 60 minutes and not exactly intense. Should I just chop off 200 cals and say I burned ~750?

yeah it seems bullshit to me, I'd estimate it at 750-800 cals
but keep in mind it's not a pace that easy to maintain over an hour, it means you are already in decent shape / trained
>8mph for one hour
that is already more than most casual runners are able to do
related question : what's the best way to lose as much calories as possible in 2-3 hours ?
like, obviously intense stuff requires tons of cals / min but you can't keep it up for long
other stuff like "walking" you can do it for hours, but it won't burn as much
so what's the best trade-off in-between ? I think that running is pretty good, you can can for 2 hours and probably burn around 1300 cals or so

I am a regular runner, yeah. It's just now I have an actual treadmill in the house and I didn't pay much mind to the metrics before. Thanks.

Rowing, swimming, stair-running.
Running, swimming or cycling.
Hiking also burns a fuck ton due to the elevation and the fact you're carrying weight (i.e. a pack).
>>36634757
Stairs, uphill, cycling at a moderate pace.

depends upon your weight, but I would estimate 400ish calories.

brb. shivering also makes you lose calories according to scooby
It's such an inaccurate science I wouldn't bother logging it.
