How many calories do you burn in a day? Here's a way for you to estimate it without doing a lot of complicated calculations yourself. You can use this tool to find out how many calories you use on an average day, or a particular day (like yesterday, when you went on a long hike or last Sunday, when you spent all day lounging at home).
