Calories Burned Calculator
Estimate gross and net activity calories from body weight, duration, and a named activity's MET value.
Formula
Gross kcal/min = MET x 3.5 x weight_kg / 200; gross calories multiply by minutes; net activity calories subtract the 1-MET resting expenditure for the same duration.
About the Calories Burned Calculator
Estimate gross and net activity calories from body weight, duration, and a named activity's MET value. Health calculators provide a formula-based estimate for the named screening, nutrition, body, reproductive, exercise, or clinical quantity.
How the Calories Burned Calculator Works
Gross kcal/min = MET x 3.5 x weight_kg / 200; gross calories multiply by minutes; net activity calories subtract the 1-MET resting expenditure for the same duration.
The calculation runs in your browser. Submitted values are validated for the required numeric range, data shape, units, and method-specific restrictions before a result is shown.
Required Inputs
- Weight (kg) (required)
- Activity duration (minutes) (required)
- Activity MET value (required)

How to Use the Calculator
- Confirm that the calculator title and method match the quantity, test, conversion, or planning question you need to solve.
- Enter values with compatible units and the requested sample, group, matrix, count, date, or option format.
- Select Example Data to inspect a valid input layout, or enter your own values and select Calculate.
- Review the result table, formula, worked substitutions, warnings, and interpretation rather than using only the headline number.
- Use Copy Result or Download CSV when you need a reusable record of the displayed calculation.
Understanding the Result
These estimates are educational and are not a diagnosis or a substitute for individualized care from a qualified health professional.
Keep the entered values, units, selected options, and any warning shown beside the result. For a hypothesis test, report the statistic, degrees of freedom where applicable, p-value, alpha level, effect size, and decision. For an estimate or conversion, report the formula convention and final unit.
Accuracy and Limitations
The calculator keeps full browser precision during calculation and rounds only for display. Accuracy still depends on correct inputs and on whether the displayed model represents the real problem. Educational calculators cannot replace required professional review, current official rules, field measurements, laboratory methods, or specialist statistical software where those are necessary.
