Estimate calories burned from body weight, activity and duration using a generalized MET-based model for fitness planning.
Estimate calories burned from body weight, activity type and exercise duration using a MET-based model. The result is an estimate of energy expenditure derived from a generalized activity intensity value. Actual expenditure depends on pace, terrain, fitness, body composition and individual physiology. How to use Calories Burned Calculator: Enter body weight. Choose the activity and duration. Review the estimated calories and MET assumption, then use the result as a planning estimate. Common uses: Workout planning Activity comparisons General fitness tracking What is a MET? A metabolic equivalent is a standardized way to describe activity intensity relative to resting energy expenditure. Are calories burned exact? No. They are estimates rather than direct measurements. Can I compare two activities? Yes, when weight and duration are held consistent, the model can illustrate how assumed intensity changes the estimate.
