Frequently Asked Questions
What does the default example show?
70 kg, 45 minutes, MET 7 burns about 367.5 calories.
What is a MET?
MET stands for metabolic equivalent of task. It compares activity intensity to resting metabolism.
Is weight in kilograms?
Yes. Convert pounds to kilograms before you enter weight if your scale uses pounds.
Are wearable estimates the same?
Often not. Watches use heart rate and proprietary models. This page uses classic MET math.
Can I use it for walking?
Yes. Pick a walking MET from a standard table that matches your pace, then enter minutes.
Does this equal net calories for weight loss?
It estimates activity burn. Daily needs also depend on BMR and total intake.
What if minutes is zero?
Burn is zero. Duration must be positive for a meaningful estimate.
Where do I find MET values?
Use published MET tables for activities such as cycling, running, or resistance training.
