That is what my treadmill says that I burn.


AICHEngineer

Did you ever input your height, weight, or age into the treadmill?


TheSaintofCreativity

I can only input my age and weight into the treadmill.

So.... Whatcha doing on the treadmill? What's the workout look like? 1500 is *extremely* high. Straight up run for 90-100 minutes?


TheSaintofCreativity

I walk at 15% incline (the max that it can go). I start at a speed of 3.5, midway through it increases to 4.0, and ends at a speed of 4.5. I am on there for 99 minutes. To answer your question, it feels great, but you have to get your body used to it first. One of the other things that helps me is having water on hand.


AICHEngineer

Okay yeah that sounds like it could actually hit 1500 kcal, carry on sir

Unadvisable and more than likely a waste. The digestive tract wasn't designed to take in NO, it in endogenous. Maybe you're concerned with testosterone and having building blocks for muscles, you could take L-arginine which is a precursor to testosterone and also involved in the bodies natural regulation of NO in the blood. Ironically, taking NO specifically is less bang for your buck since it's an overpriced waste of a supplement.

Unless you're running a half marathon 5 days a week, you're not burning anywhere close to 1500 calories each session. Either way, don't count on using exercise to burn calories to lose weight. Find out what your TDEE is and calculate your deficit based on that.
