Only if you have access to an exercise lab.
For the average exerciser, however, it's not worth the trouble, and there's no need to 'guess', since as the articles show, the 'burn' is far lower than most people realize.
When it comes to losing/not losing the 'main' calories that need close attention are diet. In other words, don't spend 2 seconds trying to guess or figure calories burned from exercise. Unless you're working out 2+ hours a day, or doing heavy duty 'training', the calorie burn isn't important (enough to worry about).
The time spent focusing on 'calories' is better spent controlling 'intake' calories(from diet), rather than 'output'(from exercise.)
When it comes to exercise, focus on '
time spent exercising' and 'creating a balance of cardio/strength/flexibility'
...and wear a pedometer.
