What is a Calories Burned Calculator?
A calories burned calculator estimates how many calories you burn during various physical activities based on your weight, the type of activity, and duration. It uses MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) values, which represent the energy cost of activities relative to rest.
Understanding calories burned helps you balance your energy intake and expenditure, plan workouts, and track progress toward your fitness goals.
Understanding MET Values
MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) is a unit that measures the intensity of physical activities. One MET equals the energy expended while sitting quietly. Higher MET values indicate more intense activities that burn more calories.
MET Value Examples:
- • Light activities (2-3 MET): Walking slowly, yoga
- • Moderate activities (4-6 MET): Brisk walking, weight training
- • Vigorous activities (7-9 MET): Running, cycling, swimming
- • Very vigorous activities (10+ MET): Jumping rope, sprinting
Factors Affecting Calories Burned
- Weight: Heavier individuals burn more calories
- Activity Intensity: Higher intensity = more calories
- Duration: Longer activities burn more total calories
- Fitness Level: More fit individuals may burn fewer calories at the same activity
- Age: Metabolism decreases with age
