Understanding the Numbers

1
What is a MET?

MET stands for Metabolic Equivalent of Task. It is a ratio of your working metabolic rate relative to your resting metabolic rate.
1 MET = The energy you burn sitting still.
8 METs = An activity that requires 8x the energy of sitting still.

2
The Math Behind the Burn

We use the standard scientific formula: Calories = MET × Weight (kg) × Duration (hours). This explains why heavier individuals burn more calories doing the exact same activity as lighter individuals—it takes more energy to move more mass.

Variables Not Included

This calculator provides an estimate. Actual burn rate is influenced by:

  • Age & Gender: Affects metabolic rate.
  • Muscle Mass: More muscle burns more fuel.
  • Efficiency: Beginners often burn more energy than pros who move efficiently.
