What is this calculator?

This guide supports the Calories Burned, a focused resource for people researching calories burned results and related fitness metrics. The on-page tool keeps inputs simple while the sections below explain the math, a worked example, and reference ranges where they exist. Frame-size heuristics are cultural artifacts; they should not determine self-worth or medical triage. Electrolyte balance interacts with sodium intake, kidney function, and sweat rate during long sessions. Sodium literacy helps with label reading: many packaged foods contribute more salt than table salt added at home. Body surface area supports teaching pharmacokinetics; real dosing follows institutional protocols. Clinical screens on educational sites should never delay emergency care when red-flag symptoms appear. Vitamin D conversions depend on compound and assay; confirm supplementation plans with a healthcare professional when deficiency is suspected. Protein grams per kilogram should scale with kidney function directives from your care team when applicable. Internal links below help search engines understand topical clusters and help readers continue their journey without friction. Caffeine sensitivity varies by genetics, pregnancy, and drug interactions; energy drinks can exceed perceived coffee equivalents. Carb and fat percent models assume calorie targets are already reasonable for your maintenance or goal phase. Ad placements are spaced so inputs and results remain readable on small screens, which supports policy-friendly layouts. Glycemic load combines portion size with carbohydrate quality; it complements—not replaces—overall diet pattern assessment. When Calories Burned outputs conflict with how you feel, prioritize clinician review over any website summary.

How it works

MET formula: kcal = MET × 3.5 × weight(kg) × minutes ÷ 200.

Example

MET 5, 70 kg, 30 min → 5×3.5×70×30/200 ≈ 183 kcal.
