Estimate energy expenditure from activity, body weight, and duration using MET values.
Change the inputs that matter to your decision. Optional assumptions stay collapsed until you need them.
Select a standard activity estimate or enter a custom MET value when you have one.
30 minutes at 3.5 MET for 75.0 kg.
Energy expenditure varies with pace, terrain, fitness, technique, and individual physiology.
| Walking at 3.5 MET | 30 min |
|---|---|
| Running at 9.8 MET | 11 min |
Preset MET values are population-level activity estimates; they are not a measurement of calories burned by your body.
Practical notes about the inputs, assumptions, and result.
A MET is a standardized multiple of resting energy expenditure used to describe activity intensity.
No. MET calculations are estimates and can differ from wearable-device readings and individual physiology.
The calculation multiplies the activity's MET value by body weight in kilograms and duration, so the same activity and time produces a different estimate at a different weight.
Use a custom value only when you have a suitable activity reference for the specific pace or task. A custom MET still gives a planning estimate, not a personal measurement.
