7-8 cal/hour is almost 10% more than my sedentary burn of 60-80 cal; that's significant.... I noticed yesterday that GWF had me at 2200 cal when I did my double exercise from 5pm - 8pm. I thought usually I burn 2300-2400 cal when I have a double exercise day. I wonder if I do the exercises earlier in the day, would it really contribute to burning more per hour.. I'll have to watch that .... because I think I had noticed it, like, "wow, how did I get up to 2300kcal so fast today!"
> be about 7-8 kcal/hr. I suppose that means 20-30 kcal per day at most
7x20= 140 cal
8 x 30 = 240 cal
How do you come up with "only 20-30kcal more per day?
