How the Calories Burned Calculator Works
Our Calories Burned Calculator estimates the number of calories you burn during a specific activity for a given amount of time.
What Are METs?
This calculator uses a value called Metabolic Equivalent of Task (MET) to estimate the calories burned. One MET is defined as the energy it takes to sit quietly. For the average adult, this is about one calorie per every 2.2 pounds of body weight per hour.

Total Calories Burned = Duration (in minutes) * (MET * 3.5 * weight in kg) / 200
