How to use the calories burned calculator.

01

Add the requested inputs

Use the labelled fields in the workspace above. If example values are provided, try them first or replace them with your own.

03

Try a worked example

A 70 kg person doing a 5 MET activity for 30 minutes burns about 175 kcal in this model.

04

Check the assumptions

Individual metabolism, intensity, fitness, terrain and equipment all change real energy use. This is an estimate, not a medical or diet recommendation.
