Frequently Asked Questions
What is MET and how is it used?
MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) is a measure of exercise intensity. 1 MET equals the energy expenditure of sitting quietly. Higher MET values indicate more intense activities that burn more calories.
How accurate is the calorie burn calculation?
The calculation provides a good estimate based on average MET values. Individual calorie burn can vary based on fitness level, body composition, and exercise efficiency. Use it as a general guideline.
What factors affect calorie burn?
Calorie burn depends on your weight, exercise intensity, duration, fitness level, and individual metabolism. Heavier people burn more calories, and more intense exercises burn more calories per minute.
How do I choose the right MET value?
Select the MET value that best matches your exercise intensity. If you're between options, choose the lower value for a conservative estimate or the higher value for a more optimistic estimate.
Can I use this for weight loss planning?
Yes! This calculator helps you estimate calorie expenditure from exercise. Combine it with your BMR/TDEE to understand your total daily calorie needs and plan your weight loss strategy.
