Calorie Burn Calculator

¿Qué es Calorie Burn Calculator?

Calories burned during exercise depend on three things: your body weight (heavier people burn more), the intensity of the activity (a sprint burns more than a walk), and the duration. The standard model is the Metabolic Equivalent of Task (MET), where 1 MET is the energy cost of sitting quietly, and 5 METs is 5× that cost. The formula is: kcal/min = (MET × 3.5 × bodyWeightKg) / 200.

This tool uses the standard formula with 24 common activities (running, cycling, swimming, yoga, weight lifting, etc.) from the Compendium of Physical Activities (Ainsworth et al., 2000/2011). For unusual activities, enter a custom MET value — most activities fall in the 2-10 MET range.

Cómo usarlo

1. 1

   Enter your body weight

   In kilograms. The formula scales by body weight — heavier people burn more calories for the same activity.

2. 2

   Pick an activity

   24 common activities with accurate MET values. Or enter a custom MET value for an unusual activity (climbing, martial arts, specific sport, etc.).

3. 3

   Enter duration

   In minutes. Most accurate for steady-state activities. For HIIT or interval training, the average intensity is what matters.
