How to calculate
Estimate exercise energy using body weight, activity MET value and duration.
Estimated energy = met*3.5*weight/200*minutes
Worked example
Weight (kg): 70; Activity intensity (MET): 6; Duration (minutes): 45.
Estimated energy: 330.75 kcal.
Assumptions and limits
MET values are averages and wearable readings can differ. Health, efficiency and environmental conditions affect energy use.
Results are rounded for display; calculations use unrounded values. Read our calculation methodology.
