What is MET and Why Does It Matter?

MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) is a physiological measure expressing the energy cost of physical activities.1 MET equals the energy you expend at rest. An activity with 4 METs burns 4 times the calories compared to resting. Our calculators use these MET values to provide accurate calorie estimates.

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate are these calorie calculators?

Our calculators use scientifically validated MET values from the 2024 Adult Compendium of Physical Activities. While individual calorie burn can vary by ±10-15% based on fitness level and technique, our estimates are among the most accurate available.

What factors affect how many calories I burn?

Key factors include your body weight, activity intensity, duration, fitness level, age, and muscle mass. Heavier individuals burn more calories for the same activity. Our calculators account for weight and intensity.

How can I burn more calories during exercise?

To maximize calorie burn: increase intensity or duration, incorporate interval training, add strength training to build muscle, and stay consistent with your workouts. Higher-intensity activities have higher MET values and burn more calories per minute.

Should I eat back the calories I burn exercising?

It depends on your goals. For weight loss, create a moderate deficit but don't starve yourself. For maintenance or muscle building, you may need to replace some exercise calories. Consult a nutritionist for personalized advice.
