We use the MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) formula: Calories = MET × weight (kg) × time (hours). MET values are standardized measures of exercise intensity published in the Compendium of Physical Activities.
Moving a heavier body requires more energy. A 200 lb person burns roughly 40% more calories than a 140 lb person doing the same activity for the same duration.
MET-based estimates are a well-validated method for approximating calorie expenditure, but individual results vary based on fitness level, age, metabolism, and exercise form. Treat results as a close estimate, not an exact measurement.
No — the calories shown are the active calories burned during the activity above your resting baseline. Your total daily calorie expenditure also includes your BMR (calories burned at rest all day).
MET stands for Metabolic Equivalent of Task. A MET of 1 equals the energy you burn sitting quietly. An activity with a MET of 6 burns 6 times as many calories per minute as sitting still.
