What is the Calories Burned Calculator & How does it work?

Understanding how the body expends energy during physical activity is essential for managing weight and optimizing performance. The amount of calories burned depends on the intensity of the activity, the individual’s body mass, and the duration of the effort.

Metabolic Equivalent of Task (MET) is a standardized unit that quantifies the energy cost of activities relative to resting metabolism. One MET represents the energy expenditure at rest, roughly 1 kcal·kg⁻¹·h⁻¹. By multiplying the MET value of an activity by body weight and time, we can estimate total calories burned.

This calculator applies the widely accepted formula: Calories = MET × Weight (kg) × (Duration (minutes) / 60). Use the inputs below to calculate the energy expenditure for your chosen activity.

\text{Calories} = MET times text{Weight}_{kg} times frac{text{Duration}_{min}}{60}
MET = Metabolic Equivalent of Task
