Every body gets curious to calculate the amount of calories they burn in a day or an hour. It is easy to find out calories burnt while jogging or dancing.

Just a quick post ... no alerts or updates here. I just finished coding a page that I think you'll enjoy. After mulling over just what a few pounds of fat means (as per the beginning of Lose Fat, Not Faith where I break down 65 pounds) I decided to build a calculator.
