For all of you calorie counters out there, I found a website that should interest you. For all of you that aren't counters, this might be fun to check out anyway.
Fitness Jumpsite has a calorie calculator that will calculate how many calories you use in a certain amount of time during a vast number of activities. All you have to do is enter your weight and the desired time allotment, and it will give you a huge graph of over 200 activities and the calories you would expend on each.
Want to know how many calories it takes to sleep for an hour? It tells you. Reading, mowing the lawn, driving your car, grocery shopping? Yup. All there. Oh, and they haven't forgotten exercise either. It tells you how many calories you would use running at 5 mph, 6 mph, 7 mph, 8.6 mph, and 10 mph. For biking you get indoor training at 150 W and 200 W. Outdoor biking comes in 12 mph, 14 mph, 16 mph, and >20 mph. In swimming, they break it down not only by speed but by stroke as well. (Did you know that breast stroke is more calorically expensive then back stroke? I didn't.) Walking has six different speeds. They also have things like fencing, volleyball, step aerobics, canoeing, hiking, whitewater rafting, calisthenics, bowling, etc.
Check it out. I bet you'll be surprised by some of the things you find.
