How does the Calories Burned Calculator work?

The calculator uses the standardized ACSM (American College of Sports Medicine) formula: Calories Burned = Duration (minutes) x [MET x 3.5 x Weight (kg) / 200]. This is the most widely accepted scientific formula to estimate physical workout energy expenditure.

Is weight in Kg or Lbs more accurate?

Both units are equally accurate. The tool automatically converts Pounds (lbs) to Kilograms (kg) behind the scenes using the standard conversion ratio (1 kg = 2.20462 lbs) before executing the calculation formula.

Are these calorie burn values exact?

No. These values are estimates based on average metabolic efficiency. Actual calories burned vary based on age, gender, body fat percentage, current muscle mass, heart rate, and metabolic health.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Learn more about metabolic MET coefficients, calorie formulas, and weight metrics.

MET stands for Metabolic Equivalent of Task. It is a physiological measure expressing the energy cost of physical activities. One MET is defined as the energy cost of sitting quietly (roughly 1 kcal/kg/hour). Activities with higher MET values burn more calories per minute.
