Track your fitness progress with our Calories Burned Calculator. Enter your weight, activity type, and duration to see how many calories you’ve burned.
How It Works
The calculator uses MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) values to estimate calories burned. MET values vary by activity and intensity. For examples, running burns more calories per minute than cycling.
Example Calculation
If you weigh 70 kg and run for 30 minutes at a moderate pace (MET = 8), the formula is:
Calories Burned = MET × Weight (kg) × Duration (hours)
Result: 8 × 70 × 0.5 = 280 calories
