What Is the Calorie Burn Calculator?
A calorie burn calculator estimates the energy used during physical activity.
How Does the Calorie Burn Calculator Work?
It multiplies the activity MET value by body weight and time.
Calorie Burn Calculator Formula & Variables
The core mathematical equation utilized by this calculator is expressed as:
Each activity has a MET value (metabolic equivalent); multiplying by body weight and time gives an energy estimate.
How to Use the Calorie Burn Calculator
- Enter your weight, choose an activity and set the duration.
Step-by-Step Example Calculation
70 kg running 30 minutes
Input Values:
weightKg:70
activity:running
minutes:30
Worked Steps: Running at about 9.8 MET burns roughly 343 kcal in half an hour.
Understanding Your Result
The result is an estimate of calories burned.
Factors That Affect the Result
- Weight, activity intensity and duration drive the result.
When Should You Use This Calculator?
- Use it to plan workouts or estimate energy balance.
Assumptions & Limitations
- MET values are averages and ignore individual differences.
