A member asked:

Can there be a relation between how much you sweat and how many calories you burn?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not much: You will loose more weight due to water loss but this only lasts until you rehydrate. There is a little increase in caloric consumption but not enough to help and not enough to risk dehydration and sun stroke.
