Calorie Burn Calculator

Calculate calories burned by exercise using MET values

Weight (kg)

Exercise Type

Duration (minutes)

MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task): Ratio of exercise energy use to resting metabolic rate
Formula: Calories burned = MET × weight (kg) × time (h)
Actual calories burned may vary by exercise intensity, fitness level, and environment

Frequently Asked Questions

What is MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task)?

The ratio of energy expenditure during an activity to the resting metabolic rate. Walking ≈ 3.5 MET; running ≈ 7–10 MET.

Does body weight affect calories burned during the same exercise?

Yes. Calories burned = MET × weight (kg) × time (h), so heavier individuals burn more calories doing the same exercise.

How many calories does it take to lose 1 kg?

1 kg of body fat ≈ 7,700 kcal. Burning an extra 500 kcal per day leads to approximately 1 kg of fat loss in 2 weeks.
