About Calories Burned
The number of calories that the body burns during regular daily activities or exercise is dependent on various factors, so it is not an exact science. The results of this calculator (and any other) are based on standardized data that references an "average" person, so it is only an estimate.
For more information on the number of calories a person should consume each day for weight maintenance, weight loss, or weight gain, refer to the Calorie calculator. Generally, the number of calories consumed, less calories burned through activities and basal metabolic rate (calories consumed - calories burned - BMR) will determine whether a person maintains, loses, or gains weight.
Factors affecting calories burned
The number of calories a person burns by performing a given activity is dependent on many different factors. Most estimates (including the ones provided by our calculator) involve the use of three key factors: body mass, duration of the activity, and the metabolic equivalent of a task (MET).
How we calculate
This calculator estimates calories burned using the following equation:
Calories = (Time × MET × Body Weight) / 200
Where time is in the unit of minutes and body weight is in the unit of kilograms.
