MET-based exercise estimates are useful for planning, but wearables and lab measurements can differ a lot.

Results explained

  • Harder efforts, hills, heat, and movement efficiency all affect the real number.
  • Use the same method every time if you care about trend consistency.
  • Fueling and hydration decisions should not rely on exercise-calorie estimates alone.

Formula & steps

MET-based burn estimate

  • Calories = MET × 3.5 × body weight (kg) ÷ 200 × minutes.
  • This is an estimate, not a wearable replacement.
  • Use the same method over time if trend consistency matters.

Examples

Quick scenario checks

01Moderate run
  • 75 kg
  • 45 min
  • 8 MET

Useful for a broad session estimate.

02Brisk walk
  • 60 kg
  • 60 min
  • 4.3 MET

Shows how lower intensity can still add meaningful burn.

FAQ

Questions worth ranking for

Each calculator page keeps its own compact FAQ block to widen long-tail coverage.

Q1

Why does my watch give a different number?

Different systems use different assumptions and sensors.

Q2

Should I eat back exercise calories?

Not automatically; many people overestimate them.

Q3

Do hills and heat matter?

Yes. Real effort can diverge from standard MET tables.
