Gardening calories lost

[Thighdentitycrisis]

I’ve just spent 4 hours cutting back shrubs, moving heavy pots and scrubbing the patio with a stiff broom

Can anybody tell me how many calories I used roughly?

Not as many as you’d hope that’s for sure (it’s never as much as you’d like)

It depends on lots of things, your current weight for example. Are you hoping your gardening would offset a calorific takeaway tonight or something?

half an hour intensive cardio (running) is about 300.
half an hour weights about half that.
so I would 'go halves' to calculate, i.e. 225 per half hour.
