How accurate is this estimate?

MET-based calculations are scientifically validated estimates. Individual variation (fitness level, terrain, intensity) can cause actual values to differ by 10–20%.

MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) measures exercise intensity. A MET of 1 = resting. Walking briskly is ~5 METs. Running hard is ~11 METs.

Should I eat back calories burned from exercise?

This depends on your goal. If losing weight, eating back all exercise calories may slow progress. Consult a dietitian for personalised guidance.

Calories Burned Calculator

The Calories Burned Calculator estimates how many calories you burn during physical activity based on your body weight, the type of exercise, and the duration. It uses MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) values — the gold standard for measuring exercise intensity. Whether you walked, ran, cycled, or swam, this tool gives you an accurate calorie burn estimate.

Calories = MET × weight (kg) × time (hours). MET values represent how many times more energy an activity burns compared to sitting at rest.
