Running burns lots of calories.

Weight loss is driven by the balance of calories -- It is the difference between how many calories you eat and burn each day. To lose weight you need to burn more calories than you eat. Running is a great way to burn calories. While the rate of calories burned varies from person to person, you can get a good general estimate that is useful when trying to figure out how many calories you burned on a run.

Instructions

    • 1

      Weigh yourself on a scale. Write down your weight.

    • 2

      Multiply your body weight by 0.75. Write down that answer. This is your total calories burned per mile.

    • 3

      Multiply the answer in Step 2 by the number of miles you ran. This is the total number of calories you burned while running.

Tips & Warnings

  • These number are estimates, everyone has different levels of burn rate.
