How Does the Calories Burned Calculator Work?

This calculator uses the Metabolic Equivalent of Task (MET) formula to estimate calories burned during physical activities. The calculation takes into account:

  • Your weight
  • Activity intensity (MET value)
  • Duration of activity

Understanding MET Values

MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) represents the energy cost of physical activities. One MET equals the energy expended while resting quietly.

  • Walking slowly (2.0)
  • Light housework (2.5)
  • Stretching (2.5)

Moderate Intensity (3-6 METs)

  • Brisk walking (3.5)
  • Cycling leisurely (4.0)
  • Light swimming (4.5)

Vigorous Intensity (>6 METs)
