Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about estimating calories burned

How are calories burned estimated?
We use the standard MET (metabolic equivalent) method: calories per minute = MET × 3.5 × weight(kg) ÷ 200, multiplied by your exercise duration. MET values come from the Compendium of Physical Activities. The estimate is affected by weight, intensity, and individual metabolism.
How accurate is this calculator?
MET-based estimates are a widely used approximation and typically within ±20% for most people. Actual burn varies with fitness level, muscle mass, age, and exercise efficiency. Wearables can give more personalized readings but often overestimate.
Does intensity affect calories burned?
Yes. We provide activities at light, moderate, and vigorous MET values (e.g., cycling at leisure vs. vigorous pace). Higher intensity burns more calories per minute, and also raises after-burn (EPOC) effects.
Is my data private?
Completely. All calculations happen in your browser — your weight and activity data never leave your device. No accounts, no uploads, no tracking.
