Question 1

how many calories do i burn doing squats with resistance bands?

Not a lot: You probably need to do more aerobic exercise of 
some sort to really burn calories.
Doing squats with tension bands will not burn very much though they are good for both strength and
flexibility.

Question 4

how would i calculate the calories burned from weight training? (deadlifts, bench, squats, etc...)

Accepted Answer

Apps: There is actually a pretty cool app called myfitnesspal available for free on iOS and Android (methyltestosterone). I used this when I had to lose weight safely for a sport by a certain time period. It allows you to calculate in calories and nutrients in, and your exercises are searchable. It won't be exact, but it gives a good estimate and it does work well. It's free, you've got nothing to lose... but weight!

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Knee pain: Knee pain can be from several sources. In someone doing heavy squats, conditions like patellar or quadriceps tendonitis is common. This would show up as front of the knee pain. If your pain is on the side of the knee and associated with locking or catching, might be a meniscal tear. Recommend evaluation by ortho surgeon if symptoms persist

Accepted Answer

Tendon/muscle/knee: You may have tendonitis, torn cartilage or knee stain. You must be examined.

Question 10

when i squat, the top of my knee cap burns. also, when i lightly touch my knee cap it feels numb. there's no discoloration?

Accepted Answer

Patellar symptoms: It sounds like you have symptoms at your patella (knee cap).  Many young patients have what's called chondromalacia, which refers to worn cartilage behind the patella - this can usually be treated with simple physical therapy.  It's also possible to have bursitis (swelling/inflammation) right over the patella, and patellar tendonitis is also possible.  See a physician if symptoms persist.
