Calculation Details
How Calorie Burn Is Calculated
Calories = MET x Weight(kg) x Duration(hrs)
MET = Metabolic Equivalent of Task value
Resting = 1 MET, Running = 9.8 METs
Calorie burn estimates help with fitness planning and weight management goals.
⚠Actual calories burned vary based on fitness level, age, muscle mass, and individual metabolism. These are estimates only.
Why Calculate Calories Burned?
Understanding calories burned during exercise helps with weight management, fitness goal setting, workout planning, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Combine with calorie intake tracking for effective weight control.
Weight Loss
Create calorie deficit through exercise to support weight loss goals.
Fitness Tracking
Monitor workout intensity and progress over time.
Workout Planning
Design workout routines to meet specific calorie burn targets.
Health Goals
Set realistic exercise goals based on calorie burn estimates.
Teaching Example: 150lb person running for 30 min. Weight kg = 68. MET for running = 9.8. Calories = 9.8 x 68 x 0.5 = 333 calories burned.

Frequently Asked Questions
How are calories burned calculated?▼
Calories burned = MET x weight(kg) x duration(hours). MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) is a value representing the energy cost of activities.
What is MET?▼
MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) measures energy expenditure. 1 MET = resting metabolism. Running = 9.8 METs means 9.8x more energy than resting.
Are results accurate?▼
Results are estimates based on average values. Actual calories burned vary by fitness level, age, and individual metabolism.
What activities are included?▼
Common activities include running, walking, cycling, swimming, weight training, yoga, and everyday activities.
