How to use the calories burned calculator
Pick your activity, enter your body weight, and set how many minutes you did it. The calculator shows the calories burned, plus the rate per hour and per minute so you can compare activities. Heavier people and longer or harder sessions burn more.
How it works: MET values
calories = MET × weight (kg) × time (hours)
Example. Running has a MET of about 9.8. For a 70 kg person running 30 minutes: 9.8 × 70 × 0.5 = 343 calories. A MET tells you how many times harder an activity is than sitting still.
Frequently asked questions
From the activity's MET value, your weight and how long you exercise: calories = MET × weight in kilograms × time in hours. A MET (metabolic equivalent) measures how hard an activity is compared with resting — running at a MET of about 9.8 burns roughly ten times the calories of sitting still.
