How the Calories Burned Calculator works
Each activity has a MET value (metabolic equivalent) from the Compendium of Physical Activities. One MET is roughly 1 calorie per kilogram per hour at rest.
Calories ≈ MET × Weight(kg) × Hours
Step-by-step calculation
- 1Choose the activity.
- 2Enter weight and minutes.
- 3Calories = MET × kg × hours.
Worked example
A 70 kg person walking briskly (3.5 mph, 4.3 METs) for 30 minutes burns about 4.3 × 70 × 0.5 ≈ 151 calories.
