Calorie Counter
Discussion
This is the best online tool I have found, simply put on your weight and time and it gives you a rough idea of how many calories you can burn. I say rough as it depends on a few factors, biggest being your sex.

Dunno.
More weight to lift up equals morr calories burnt?
I am thinking a skinny twerp would burn less calories doing the same exercise, assuming all other factors are the same, than a fat biffer?
So many questions.
This is correct. In any weight bearing exercise a bigger lady or gent will burn a lot more calories as they are having to lift that weight repeatedly e.g. when you are running. With non-weight bearing the effect is less noticeable but still applicable - think cycling, a fat bloke is still having to lift his big fat heavy legs. Or to look at it from another perspective the skinny bloke will have to run faster, climb higher, or pedal longer to burn the same number of calories. It's the same reason why fat people can lose weight much more easily than thin people - they're probably shifting 1000 calories a day more than thinny just shifting their fat arse around behind them!
