Formula Notes

  • Use consistent units for values that are multiplied, divided, or compared.
  • Results may be rounded for readability, while the calculator keeps greater precision internally.
  • Real-world measurements and assumptions can introduce small differences from the calculated estimate.

Common uses

  • Estimate workouts
  • Compare exercise intensity
  • Track training

Assumptions

What this calculation assumes

  • Inputs are self-reported and may not capture medical history, medication, age-specific context, or clinical risk.
  • Health ranges are screening references, not diagnoses.
  • Inputs are assumed to describe the same scenario and use compatible units.
  • Results may be rounded for readability.

Avoid mistakes

Quick checks before you rely on the result

  • Treating a screening estimate as a diagnosis.
  • Entering body measurements in the wrong unit system.
  • Mixing units, periods, currencies, or measurement systems without converting first.
  • Rounding intermediate values too early.

Step-by-Step Explanation

Follow the reasoning, not only the final number.

  1. 1

    Set up the calculation

    Enter the known values in the calculator fields.

    Starting with clearly defined values and units prevents the most common calculation errors.

  2. 2

    Work through step 2

    Keep the units consistent with the labels shown beside each input.

    This step transforms the known values into the form required by the formula.

  3. 3

    Work through step 3

    Apply the formula: Calories = MET x 3.5 x kg / 200 x minutes.

    This step transforms the known values into the form required by the formula.

  4. 4

    Interpret the result

    Review the primary result and supporting values.

    Compare the result with your real-world goal, such as estimate workouts.
