FYI

45 minutes of snow shoveling burns more than 300 calories. At least for me according to calculations. So, if one good thing comes from snow it is a good calorie burn. Just had to share for all you snow shoveling fools out there.

  1. How long did you do it and what did Sparkpeople tell you? I plugged in an hour and it said 705 calories. I've heard that the calorie estimations are based on weight so I'm curious what yours said...

  2. 45 minutes - 375 calories
    It is based on weight. Mine may be off. I can't remember the weight I have set on there -lol. I think it was before the fall weight gain I had.

  3. Okay, I checked my weight and had to raise it a little. The calories ended up being 391.
