Default You can feed your information into Fitday

Fitday has a pretty good calorie measurement. You put your height and weight in your profile, and when you go over to "Activities," it tells you what your basal metabolic rate is burning in calories any given day, and then you can add activities. It's much more accurate than the 10-calorie rule of thumb that you're citing here.

I use it a lot of late, trying to get my "activity" rate up to at least 50% of the calories I burn.
