I was looking at calorie calculators and they all claim im burning between 600-750 cal. im not sure if this is accurate. i weigh 205 please help
Sounds about right, assuming you have no metabolic diseases. 21 miles nets me about 1000 calories, and I'm not far off of your weight. I use Runkeeper, however, I assume both have similar formulae for calculating burn rate.
Now, I'm presuming it's accurate, because I also use MyFitnessPal to log meals. And, I am scheduled to lose 1.5 lbs per week. And, I am not far off the mark, average about 1.4 lbs per week in weight loss.
