About this calories burned calculator

Every activity has a MET value: how many times your resting energy use it takes. Calories burned = MET × 3.5 × body weight in kg ÷ 200 × minutes. Walking at 3 mph is 3.5 METs, so a 70 kg person burns 3.5 × 3.5 × 70 ÷ 200 × 30 ≈ 129 kcal in half an hour. MET values come from the Compendium of Physical Activities.

FAQ

Common questions

Short answers for the questions people usually have before trying a utility like this.

How accurate is a calories burned estimate?

Within about 10-20% for most people. MET values are averages; fitness, terrain and efficiency move the real number. Fitness trackers use similar formulas plus heart rate.

Why do heavier people burn more calories?

Moving more mass takes more energy, so the formula scales with body weight. The same 30-minute walk burns about 129 kcal at 70 kg and about 165 kcal at 90 kg.
