Calories Burned Calculator

MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) values represent the energy cost of activities compared to resting metabolism. 1 MET equals your resting metabolic rate, so a 5 MET activity burns 5 times more calories than sitting quietly. Our calories burned calculator uses scientifically established MET values for accurate activity calorie estimates.

Our calories burned calculator provides estimates within 10-15% accuracy for most people. Individual results vary based on fitness level, body composition, and metabolism. For weight loss planning, combine this tool with our calorie deficit calculator and TDEE calculator for comprehensive calorie management.

For weight loss, eating back 50-75% of exercise calories is often recommended to maintain energy while preserving your calorie deficit. Use our macro split calculator to ensure proper nutrition distribution when adding back exercise calories to your daily intake.

Yes! Our activity calorie calculator includes MET values for hundreds of activities including sports, gym exercises, household tasks, and recreational activities. Each activity has been scientifically measured to provide accurate calorie burn estimates for your specific body weight and duration.

Heavier individuals burn more calories during the same activity because it requires more energy to move a larger mass. Our calories burned calculator automatically adjusts for your weight, providing personalized results. Combine with our BMI calculator to track how weight changes affect your calorie burn over time.

The calories burned calculator estimates energy expenditure for specific activities, while our TDEE calculator determines your total daily energy needs including all activities. Use both tools together - TDEE for daily calorie planning and the activity calculator for tracking individual workout sessions.

Focus on high-intensity interval training (HIIT), compound movements, and activities with MET values above 8. Our workout calories calculator can help you compare different exercise options. Combine strength training with cardio for optimal calorie burn and use our protein intake calculator to support muscle recovery.

Absolutely! Our calculator includes everyday activities like walking, cleaning, gardening, and occupational tasks. Track your total daily activity calories and combine with our step calories calculator for comprehensive daily energy expenditure monitoring.

Add your exercise calories to your BMR or TDEE to determine total daily calorie needs. Use our macro split calculator to distribute these calories across proteins, carbs, and fats. For weight loss, maintain a 500-750 calorie deficit from your total daily expenditure including exercise.

Fitness level, body composition, age, gender, and exercise intensity all influence calorie burn. Our calculator uses average MET values, so very fit individuals may burn slightly fewer calories while beginners may burn more. Use our body fat calculator alongside this tool for more personalized fitness tracking.
