How to calculate calories (burned)

The number of calories you burn while exercising is dependent on:

• the exercise you do
• your weight
• the time spent doing the activity

By multiplying the MET ^(*) value by the body weight in kg and the duration of the activity, you can estimate the energy expenditure in Kcal specific to a person's body weight. This statement can be expressed as the following formula:

In this example, walking up stairs (slow) at a 4 MET value, burns Kcal/kg x body weight/h.

So, a 70 kg individual walking up stairs (slow) for 50 minutes expends the following:

(4 METs x 70 kg) x (50 min/60 min) = 233.3 Kcal.

Notes:

• 4 is the value in METs for walking up stairs (slow)
• The time unit is expressed in minutes
• The mass (weight) unit is expressed in kilograms
• We divide the time by 60 (min) because the MET unit uses hour.

(*) MET means 'metabolic equivalent'
