    It depends on your exercise. I do HIIT, and regularly burn about 800 Calories an hour. On leg day I can sometimes hit 1k.

      That’s like 3 beers worth. I’m not saying you can’t burn significant calories by exercising but the effort needed is way more than simply not drinking 3 beers. Also most exercise isn’t going to burn 800+ calories. The only way an average person is hitting those kind of numbers is if they have an intense manual labor job.
