Anyone have any way of doing that???
Do a Google search. There are lots of charts that show calories burned per each type of exercising, speed, your weight, etc. It all varies. For example, someone mentioned running is 100 calories per mile. That's true for someone weighing 150 lbs. Since you weigh 202, your rate is closer to 150 calories. Your pace has an impact, but much smaller. The difference between 7:00/mile and 9:00/mile varies by 20%.
