MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) is a measure of exercise intensity. The formula Calories = MET × weight(kg) × time(hr) gives a reliable estimate of energy expenditure.

Are the results exact?

The results are estimates. Actual calorie burn varies with age, fitness level, body composition, and environmental conditions.

Can I use pounds instead of kilograms?

Yes — select 'lbs' and the calculator automatically converts to kg internally for the MET calculation.

What is the food comparison feature?

After calculating, the tool shows several common foods and how many servings' worth of calories you burned during your activity.
