What is MET?
Metabolic Equivalent (MET) is a unit that estimates the amount of oxygen used by the body during physical activity. 1 MET is the energy you burn while sitting quietly. The higher the MET, the more intense the exercise.
The Formula
Calories = (MET × Weight in kg × Time in hours). our tool uses the Compendium of Physical Activities to automate this for 800+ scenarios.
Pro Tip: Intensity matters! A "brisk walk" (4.3 MET) burns significantly more than a "slow stroll" (2.0 MET).
