Frequently Asked Questions
This calculator uses the MET formula: Calories Burned = MET value × weight (kg) × duration (hours). Each activity in the dropdown has a preset MET value, such as 9.8 for running or 3.5 for walking.
A MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) represents how many times more energy an activity uses compared to resting. Higher MET values, like running at 9.8, burn more calories per minute than lower ones, like yoga at 2.5.
If weight or duration is missing, zero, or negative, the calculator shows an "Invalid input!" message instead of a calories burned result.
No, it's a general estimate based on average MET values for each activity. Actual calories burned can vary with intensity, fitness level, and individual metabolism, so use it as a general guide rather than a precise measurement.
