Use this calculator to estimate total calories burned for workouts or daily activities.
How Calories Burned Calculation Works
Our calculator uses MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) values to estimate calories burned. The formula: Calories = MET × Weight (kg) × Time (hours) × 3.5 / 200
- MET Values: Measure exercise intensity (e.g., walking = 3.5 METs, running = 8+ METs)
- Weight Factor: Heavier individuals burn more calories for the same activity
- Duration: Longer activities burn more total calories
- Intensity: Higher intensity multiplies calorie burn

Calories Burned Calculator FAQ
How accurate is the calories burned calculation?
Our calculator provides estimates based on MET values and scientific research. Individual results may vary based on fitness level, body composition, and metabolism.
Which activities burn the most calories?
High-intensity activities like running (11+ METs), jump rope (7 METs), and CrossFit (6 METs) burn the most calories per minute.
Does weight affect calories burned?
Yes, heavier individuals typically burn more calories performing the same activity because they use more energy to move their body mass.
What are MET values?
MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) represents the energy cost of activities. 1 MET = resting metabolism, 3.5 METs = moderate walking, 8+ METs = vigorous exercise.
