- The more you weigh, the more calories you will burn. So if two people do the exact same activity at the exact same pace, the person that weighs more will burn more calories.
- Calculating your calories burned is not an exact science. It's hard to know exactly how many calories you burn, because there are so many variables -- your level of fitness, intensity of exercise, slope changes, weather conditions, etc.

- It's generally accepted that it takes 3,500 calories to burn one pound of body fat. In theory, if you burn an additional 500 calories per day (without eating more) you should lose one pound per week.
- Using a calorie counter? Be sure to count calories burned and figure out what your daily calorie balance is by subtracting calories burned from consumed. Consider calorie counter software to do the work for you.
