About MET Values & Calorie Calculation
What is MET?
- MET: Metabolic Equivalent of Task
- 1 MET: Resting energy expenditure (~1 kcal/kg/hour)
- Higher MET: More intense activity, more calories burned
- Standard: Based on scientific research and measurements
Formula Explanation
Calculator.net Formula:
Calories = Time(min) × MET × 3.5 × Weight(kg) ÷ 200
Compact Form:
Calories = Time(min) × MET × Weight(kg) × 0.0175
