Calories Burned Calculator

This calculator estimates the energy you burn during exercise using MET values (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) — a standard measure of exercise intensity. Running burns roughly 9.8 METs, cycling 7.5, swimming 8, weightlifting 5 and brisk walking 3.5.

The formula multiplies the MET value by 3.5, by your weight in kilograms and by the duration, then divides by 200. Heavier bodies burn more energy for the same activity. Combine this with the daily calorie calculator to plan your overall energy balance.
