Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is this calorie burn estimator?
This calculator uses MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) values which provide a good estimate for most people. However, individual calorie burn can vary based on metabolism, fitness level, age, and gender. These values should be used as estimates rather than exact measurements.
What are MET values?
MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) is a ratio of your working metabolic rate relative to your resting metabolic rate. One MET is the energy cost of sitting at rest, while higher MET activities burn more calories. For example, running at 9.8 METs burns nearly 10 times more calories than resting.
Can I use this for weight loss tracking?
Yes, this tool can help you estimate calories burned during exercise, which is useful for creating a calorie deficit for weight loss. Remember that 1 pound of fat equals approximately 3,500 calories, so you'll need a combination of diet and exercise to lose weight effectively.
Does the intensity of my workout matter?
Yes, the MET values used in this calculator represent average intensities for each activity. Running at a faster pace or with higher intensity will burn more calories than the estimate, while a light jog will burn less. You can adjust the duration to account for intensity differences.
Is this tool free to use?
Yes, the Fitness Calculator is completely free to use with no limits or restrictions. All calculations happen locally in your browser.

About Fitness Calculator

Understanding MET Values

This calculator uses standard MET values for each activity. MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) is a physiological measure expressing the energy cost of physical activities. It is defined as the ratio of working metabolic rate to resting metabolic rate.

The formula used is: Calories = MET × weight(kg) × duration(hours)

  • Cycling: 7.5 METs
  • Swimming: 8.0 METs
  • Walking: 3.8 METs

Tips for Accurate Estimates

  • Use your actual body weight for the most accurate results
  • Consider the intensity level of your activity
  • Include rest periods in your total duration
  • Track your workouts consistently for better progress monitoring
  • Remember that individual factors can affect actual calorie burn
