Calories Burned Calculator
Calories burned from weight, duration and MET value.
How it works
kcal = MET × 3.5 × weight ÷ 200 × minutes
MET (metabolic equivalent) reflects intensity: running ~9.8, cycling 7.5, walking 3.5.
Worked example
70 kg, MET 6 (moderate cycling), 60 minutes:
kcal/min = 6 × 3.5 × 70 ÷ 200 = 7.35, about 441 kcal total.
At MET 10 (running 9–10 km/h) the same hour is roughly 735 kcal.
Notes and limitations
MET tables are population averages; individual efficiency varies by ±20%. Wearables tend to overestimate, so do not treat "calories burned" as a licence to eat more — it is usually smaller than it feels.
