Calories Burned Calculator
Estimate the calories an activity burns from its intensity (MET), your weight and the time.
Calories burned560kcal
Per hour560kcal/hr
Per minute9.3kcal/min
Calories burned ≈ MET × weight(kg) × hours, where the MET (metabolic equivalent) rates an activity's intensity relative to sitting still. A 70 kg person doing a vigorous (MET 8) workout for 1 hour burns ≈ 8 × 70 × 1 = 560 kcal. Heavier bodies and harder activities burn more; this is an estimate from population averages.

Questions
How are calories burned calculated?
Calories ≈ MET × weight in kilograms × hours of activity. A MET rates intensity relative to rest, so a 70 kg person doing a MET-8 workout for an hour burns about 560 kcal.
What is a MET?
A MET (metabolic equivalent of task) is how much energy an activity uses compared with sitting quietly, which is 1 MET. Walking is around 3, running around 8 to 11.
