Calories Burned Calculator

Estimate calories burned during an activity using factors such as body weight, activity intensity, and duration.

Calories Burned Calculator

The Calories Burned Calculator estimates energy expenditure for an activity using the information entered, such as body weight, activity type or intensity, and exercise duration.

MET-based method

A common estimate uses metabolic equivalent of task (MET). A widely used approximation is calories per minute = MET Γ— 3.5 Γ— weight in kilograms Γ· 200. Multiplying this value by the activity duration gives an estimated calorie expenditure.

Using the calculator

Choose the activity that best matches what you did, enter your body weight and duration, and calculate the estimate. Use consistent units when entering time and weight.

Why the result is an estimate

Actual energy expenditure depends on pace, fitness, technique, terrain, body composition, and many other factors. A calculator result should therefore be treated as an approximation.

Frequently Asked Questions FAQ

How does a Calories Burned Calculator work?
It estimates energy expenditure from factors such as activity intensity, body weight, and duration.
What is a MET?
MET stands for metabolic equivalent of task and represents the approximate energy cost of an activity relative to resting.
Does body weight affect calories burned?
Yes. Body weight is one of the factors used in many calorie-expenditure equations.
Are calories burned estimates exact?
No. Exercise calorie estimates can differ from actual energy expenditure because individual conditions vary.
