Calories wey exercise burn

Calories by duration, using your MET and weight
| Duration | Calories |
|---|---|
| 15 minutes | — |
| 30 minutes | — |
| 45 minutes | — |
| 60 minutes | — |
Compare calories for different durations
Di bars scale in straight proportion to duration because di formula dey linear for minutes. Di scale use di 60-minute value.
Formula
Calories = MET × 3.5 × weight (kg) ÷ 200 × minutes. One MET na energy cost of sitting quietly; activity wey get rating of 6 MET count as six times dat cost.
Example wey show the calculation
Activity na 6 MET, weight na 65 kg, duration na 45 minutes: calories = 6 × 3.5 × 65 ÷ 200 × 45 = 6.825 × 45 = 307.1 kcal. Dat na 6.83 kcal every minute and 409.5 kcal every hour for di same intensity and weight. Use Reset example above to reproduce dis result.
Where e fit work and limits
MET values na population averages for activity, no be measurements of your session: fitness, technique, equipment, terrain, and individual physiology all dey shift true value. Formula dey assume constant intensity for whole duration, so intervals, pauses, and changing effort dey average away. E also dey count gross expenditure, including energy wey you for use at rest during same minutes.
Questions wey people dey ask often
Wetin be MET?
Multiple of resting energy cost. Sitting quietly na 1 MET; activity wey dem rate 6 MET dem dey treat am as costing six times as much energy per minute.
Why na only estimate be this?
Because MET figure na average across people, and your efficiency, fitness, and equipment differ from that average.
E include calories wey body use at rest?
Yes — result na gross expenditure, which include energy wey you for use at rest during those minutes.
Wetin if my effort no stay the same?
Formula dey assume one constant intensity. For mixed sessions, split time by intensity and add parts, or treat result as average-intensity approximation.
Una dey store my data?
No. This calculation dey run locally inside your browser; values wey you enter no dey reach any CalcMintly database.
How I go choose MET value?
Use published MET compendium value for activity as dem perform am — same activity done harder or with load dey carry higher MET.
