🔥 Calories Burned Calculator
Estimate how many calories you burn during various activities based on your weight and exercise duration.
How Calories Burned Are Calculated
Calories burned during exercise are calculated using MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) values. One MET represents the energy expended while sitting quietly (about 1 kcal/kg/hour).
Formula
Calories = MET × Weight (kg) × Duration (hours)
MET Values for Common Activities
| Activity | MET Value | Intensity |
|---|---|---|
| Sleeping | 0.95 | Very Light |
| Sitting | 1.3 | Very Light |
| Walking (3 mph) | 3.5 | Light |
| Weight Training | 6.0 | Moderate |
| Running (6 mph) | 10.0 | Vigorous |
| HIIT Workout | 11.0 | Very Vigorous |
Note: These are estimates. Actual calories burned vary based on factors like fitness level, body composition, and exercise intensity.
