Hi! This is my first time posting here so I apologize if this is the wrong spot. I am 26F, 5’9” and 160 pounds. Don’t have a ton to lose but definitely trying for that last little bit. I live a very active life in the mountains; bartending, lots of skiing in the winter and hiking in the summer.
My question is, how do I account for calories burned through more intense exercise at high altitude? At least 2-3 days a week in the summer I do big hikes, sometimes upwards of >10 miles, 3,000+ feet of vertical gain, many hours long at over 10,000 feet of elevation. I always find myself getting extremely hungry and during the hiking season I never know how much I need to be eating to properly fuel myself. Is there a reliable way to figure out how many calories something like this burns? I’ve never been a fitness watch person. In the summer I am oftentimes less concerned with “weight loss” per se, because I know I’m being active and gaining muscle. I know I need to eat more during the hiking season even if I want to lose weight, but I am lost. Thanks y’all!
