Calories Burned Woman vs Man for same exercise

Replies are disabled for this topic. Start a new one or visit our Help Center.

My significant other and I power walked 4 miles on the beach and his calories burnt was much higher than mine.  Today I logged 30,206 steps, lifted weights for 20 minutes, 246 active minutes and 55 flights of stairs compared to his 20,157 steps 158 active minutes and 6 flights of stairs and no weight lifting.  We both have 3,200 calories burnt which seems unfair to me.  He is 57 and I am 53 to put things in to reference with our age.  Any feedback would be appreciated.

Hi @Bell66 - what is the difference in size between the two of you? How about muscle mass?  The bigger you are and the more muscle you have ... the more calories you will burn. There is a nice explanation here.
