Calories Burned Calculator
Pick an activity, enter duration and weight to estimate calories burned (kcal) with the MET method.
Input Data
Results
At a glance:Calories = MET × weight(kg) × time(hours). MET is the activity's metabolic multiple vs rest (walking ~3.5, cycling ~7.5, swimming ~6, jogging ~7, running ~9.8, yoga ~2.5).
Formula
hours = durationMin ÷ 60.
calories = MET × weightKg × hours.
How to Use
- Select the activity and enter duration (min) and weight (kg).
- Get the estimated calories burned instantly.
Case Studies
65kg running 30 min
calories = 9.8 × 65 × 0.5 = 318.5 ≈ 319 kcal.
FAQ
What is a MET?
MET (Metabolic Equivalent) is how many times more energy an activity uses than resting; 1 MET is roughly sitting still.
Is it accurate?
METs are population averages; real burn varies with intensity, fitness and terrain, so treat the value as an estimate.
Can I use it for daily activities?
This tool focuses on common workouts; chores or stair-climbing have their own METs and can be approximated similarly.
