Unless you are exercising 10 hours per day you dont lose much calories by exercising
- arghnoname 3y agoI ran 15 miles on Monday at a pretty relaxed pace (took 2.5 hours). My watch, while probably not perfectly accurate, nevertheless suggested I burned approximately 1640 additional calories during this time. This is 1/4 as much as 10 hours and is a significant proportion of my basal metabolic expenditure. On a more typical day, I may run closer to an hour and be closer to 600-700 calories. I'd still call this significant. You can burn significant calories exercising, but the exercise is probably kind of unpleasant.
