Activity to Calories Burned Calculator
Find Metabolic equivalent (MET) and Calories Burned For different activities such as Walking, Jogging, Running, Swimming, Weight Training, Bicycling, Sports and Household work.
Select the Activity and get the Metabolic Equivalent (MET) for it. Enter your weight in lbs or kg and duration of the activity to find the Calories Burned (kcal)
1 MET = 1 kcal/kg/hr
What is METs and how is it related to Activity-Calorie conversion?
- METs stands for 'Metabolic Equivalents'
- The Metabolic Equivalent is in terms of Kilocalories and related to weight and duration
- Every Activity has a Metabolic Equivalent value which is measured in kcal/kg/hr
- For example, Resting state METs is 1. It means we burn 1 kcal/kg/hr in resting state.
- Walking, Running, Jogging, Swimming all these activities have different Metabolic Equivalent value.
- The number of calories burned for any activity is determined using the METs value of the activity
What is the Formula for Activity to Calories Conversion?
To find the number of calories burned for a given activity, multiply the Metabolic equivalent value of that activity with duration in hours and with the weight of the person in kg
Calorie Burnt = Duration in hr * Weight in kg * MET
1 MET = 1 kcal/kg/hr which is the energy burnt at resting state (Resting Metabolic Rate). Based on the activity, duraton and weight, you can find the MET value and compute the Calories burnt
Weight: 200 pounds, Activity: Dancing, Duration: 100 mins and Met: 5
Calories Burnt = 100 mins in hr * 200 pounds in kg * 5 met
Calories Burnt = (100/60) x 90.7 x 5 = 755.83 kcal
Weight: 70 kg, Activity: Walking, Duration: 60 mins and Met: 7
Calories Burnt = 60 mins in hr * 70 kg * 7 met
Calories Burnt = (60/60) x 70 x 7 = 490 kcal
Weight: 150 kg, Activity: Bicycling, Duration: 120 mins and Met: 14
Calories Burnt = 120 mins in hr * 150 kg * 14 met
Calories Burnt = (120/60) x 150 x 14 = 4200 kcal
