Calorie Burn Calculator

Calculate the estimated calories you burn during physical activities based on your weight, activity, speed or intensity, and exercise duration.

Calculate calories burned

Enter your weight, choose an activity, select the appropriate speed or intensity, and enter your exercise duration.

Please enter a valid weight and exercise duration.

Estimated calories burned

Step-by-step calculation

Step 1: Convert your weight
Step 2: Select your activity and intensity
Step 3: Convert exercise duration
Step 4: Apply the calorie formula
Step 5: Calculate calories burned

What does the result mean?

The result is an estimate of the calories you may burn during the selected physical activity for the amount of time entered.

Calorie expenditure depends on your body weight, activity type, exercise intensity, and duration. Actual calorie burn can vary between individuals.

How is calorie burn calculated?

This calculator uses a MET-based estimate. MET stands for Metabolic Equivalent of Task and represents the energy cost of an activity relative to resting.

Each activity and intensity level is assigned an estimated MET value. The MET value is then combined with body weight and exercise duration.

Calorie burn example

Suppose a person weighs 70 kg and walks at 4.8 km/h for 30 minutes. Using a MET value of 3.5, the estimated calorie burn can be calculated.

Calories burned = MET × 3.5 × weight (kg) ÷ 200 × time (minutes)

Calories burned = 3.5 × 3.5 × 70 ÷ 200 × 30

Calories burned ≈ 129 calories

The estimated calorie burn is approximately 129 calories.

Formula used

Calories burned = MET × 3.5 × weight (kg) ÷ 200 × time (minutes)

MET values are estimates for different physical activities. Actual energy expenditure may vary depending on the individual and the intensity of the activity.
