Calories burnt per hour for any exercise... Does this include maintance calories or is it in addition to what is spent doing nothing?

[Anonymous]

Say you have a 1200 calorie requirement for doing absolutely nothing. So 50 calories per hour.

A calorie guide says a 140 pound woman will burn about 200 calories an hour jumping on a trampoline.

Does that mean she's burning 50+ 150 an hour?

As in 150 more than she would have if she was sitting still?

Or dies it mean she's burning 50+ 200 an hour.

Her resting burn + her activity burn?

Does The number refer strictly to the exercise or the overall number?

If jumping on a trampoline burns 200 calories an hour and the woman uses 50 calories an hour doing nothing. Dies that leave her with a caloric deficit of 200 , or 250 calories after the hour is up? Bc there's no specification , so it's unclear.

Does anyone KNOW as apposed to guessing... Bc I can do that. Thanks:)

if you're referring to BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) then all you really have to do is add the amount of calories burned after your BMR. I mean the calculations shouldn't really matter though, just get your BMR, don't consume calories over that rate and exercise enough to burn an additional (insert number) of your accumulated goal.

if someine was exceeding like 12 hours they'd want to have more than just their Bmr.

I'm not worried I just want to know what the numbers represent.

But you're pretty sure it's in addition to resting rate... It's odd they don't just flat out say so.

when you say numbers do you mean the BMR calculations?

My BMR is 1800. If I hit the road on my bike and burn 700 calories, that means I've now burned 2500 calories that day.

[Asker]

Ok it seems unanimous:)

[meatballs21]

It took me a while to figure out what you were confused by - you wondered if you should subtract something from that 700 to take into account your resting burn, making it (say) 650?

[Asker]

Yes. Bc your resting rate jsnt just when you're doing nothing it is always going on. You see it clearly when you're doing nothing, but I i had no readon to assume the 700 an hour doesn't include the 50 or 75 or whatever. Bc you're exercising within the same 24 hour cycle as your bmi is keeping all the basic functions flowing

Did someone tell you its not included or did you assume?

[meatballs21]

I read about it when learning how to calculate my BMR and track my calories.

[Asker]

Oh cool thanks:

It doesn't include maintenance calories. It's an addition.
