A reputable trainer could put you through a series of tests that would give you a good estimate of how many calories you burn in a day based on body composition etc. You could also use a heartrate monitor for a 24 hour period and see what estimates it gives you. Finally, you could use the BMR calculators for a pretty fair estimate. Those are plentiful and free online.  |
