I read this stats on an article that says-
A 200 pound man would burn 113 calories walking 1 mile at a pace of 4 miles per hour (total exercise duration = 15 minutes).
The same man would burn 151 calories running a mile at a pace of 6 miles per hour (total exercise duration = 10 minutes).
And if you were strolling for a mile at a pace of 2 miles per hour, you would burn 113 calories but it would take you twice as long (total exercise duration = 30 minutes).
You burn fewer calories exercising at a lower intensity. Exercising at a higher intensity burns more calories per minute. In addition, if you weigh more, you burn more calories doing the same activity

If you use a tool like a free account from and set up all your profile information including weight - it will tell you the calorie burn of all the aspects of exercise that you log. This includes the different aspects that San mentioned...
You can easily calculate the calorie burn of your other aspects of exercise this way too.

And once more, you're wrong. By now, we have all figured out out that you're on some kind of 'bad food versus good food crusade', but that doesn't make you any more right.
The very foundation is about balancing energy in vs. energy out. Nothing else. It's as simple as that. So knowing your calories consumed and calories burned is a good thing.
As for 'listening to your body'....my body tells me to eat chocolate. Loads of it. My body tells me to eat large portions of my favourite foods. My body craves foods that are loaded with calories. My body also tells me to forget about exercising, or moving much at all. My body tells me that it is most comfortable, and most happy (causing me the least amount of pain) if I'm curled up in bed. If I listened to my body, I'd be 500 lbs and bed-bound by now.

You forget about the millions of people that have succeeded with that when they have actually kept to it and not offered lip-service to the concept.
I cannot count the number of times that I tried to lose weight and swore that dieting would never work for me because I just couldn't stick to it long term.
Funnily enough - then I had a project that I did stick to and halved my weight. Years later - I may have gained a little in stressful times - but I am still pretty healthy and still half of that big weight.
People often give the same advice because it is good advice that is well worth repeating.

It's not 'all about calories' - learn to read. But calories in vs. calories out is the basis. If that doesn't work, if that basis isn't there, nothing else will have any effect. If that is a concept you don't understand, then you have a serious problem.
And I have a very good relationship with food, thank you. And with my body. I do not tell myself that there is some miracle way to sort out all the problems (like, not eating ANTI food), but that I have to use my brain, and make decisions in regards to what is good for me and what isn't. I don't demonize anything, and I learned about moderation, and that sometimes your body is simply sending the wrong messages.
You don't have to take advice from me. Nobody does. But what I say is based on facts, not make-believe. I don't run around telling people that I found the answer to everything, and that answer just happens to be another obscure fad (don't eat the ANTI foods!!). Because all the other obscure ideas worked so well, and never turned out to be complete nonsense.
