Hi Carrie
I am curious about what you actually want to do? This would help me give you a better reply.
There are numerous metabolic calculations that can determine caloric expenditure if you know Vo2 max, weight, and mode of exercise (see ACSM for these formulas). However I believe the NSCA calculations by Debra Wein the RD will serve you well.
