Calories Burned Calculator
Estimate calories burned during exercise from your weight, the activity and how long you did it, using MET values. Free, metric and imperial.
| Per minute | 5.3 kcal |
|---|---|
| Per hour | 315 kcal |
Uses the MET formula: kcal/min = MET × 3.5 × kg ÷ 200. MET values are population averages, so your real burn depends on intensity, fitness and terrain. Fitness-tracker estimates vary just as much.
⚕️ This is an educational estimate, not medical advice. Formulas are population averages and can't account for your full health picture — talk to a doctor or registered dietitian before making decisions about diet, weight or training.
How this calculator works
Each activity has a MET value (metabolic equivalent) from the Compendium of Physical Activities. Calories per minute = MET × 3.5 × weight(kg) ÷ 200, multiplied by the number of minutes. Heavier bodies and harder efforts burn more.
MET values are averages across many people, so treat the number as a ballpark. Intensity matters a lot — an easy jog and a hard run share a label but not the burn.
