Obviously, it depends greatly on the intensity and what kind of shape you're in. That number will be unique to you, your body and the average intensity of your effort over that period of time.
My point was that its not "nearly impossible". Its the first step and most fundamental part of the process that all serious people have to go through and dial in as a starting point.
Besides, I am talking about weight loss and burning fat and in that context. It takes time to dial it in. It takes time to dial it in for every human being on the planet that struggles with weight loss.
Almost every piece of cardio equipment in any gym on the western world allows you to enter your height, weight, measures distance/intensity and gives you fairly decent idea of where you're at in terms of calories burned. It's not some eternal secret kept by a little old man on a mountain top in the Himalayas
.
To pre-empt the next point which typically follows as part of the defensive behavior I deal with daily,.... to take that info provided by that equipment/body fat tester/heart rate monitor and then argue its not 100% accurate is totally moot.. as it's purpose is to provide a consistent baseline to work from.
