How the calories burned calculator works
This exercise calorie calculator uses the MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) method. A simplified estimate is calories = MET × 3.5 × weight in kg ÷ 200 × minutes. MET values represent typical activity intensity; your actual burn may differ.
How to use the result
Use the estimate to compare workout durations and support a balanced activity plan. Do not treat exercise calories as exact permission to eat more or as a substitute for a varied diet and regular movement.
Frequently asked questions
How many calories does walking burn?
It depends on body weight, pace, incline and duration. A brisk 30-minute walk generally burns more energy than a slow walk of the same length.
Is running more effective than walking for calorie burn?
Running typically burns more calories per minute because its intensity is usually higher, but the best activity is one you can do safely and consistently.
Are smartwatch calorie estimates exact?
No. Wearables and online calculators both estimate energy expenditure and can differ from your actual expenditure.
