Cardio Calculators
Calories Burned Calculator
Estimate exercise calorie burn from body weight, session length, and intensity level.

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.
Best used for

Captures broad general-health intent while feeding cardio and weight-management clusters.

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
- 75 kg
- 45 min
- 8 MET
Useful for a broad session estimate.
- 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.
Why does my watch give a different number?
Different systems use different assumptions and sensors.
Should I eat back exercise calories?
Not automatically; many people overestimate them.
Do hills and heat matter?
Yes. Real effort can diverge from standard MET tables.
