About This Tool
How Many Calories Did That Workout Burn
The Calories Burned Calculator estimates the energy you used during any activity. Pick from a long list of exercises and daily tasks, enter your body weight and the duration in minutes, and the tool computes the calories burned using MET values, the standard metabolic equivalent of task scale.
The formula is calories = MET × body weight in kg × hours. Individual burn varies with fitness, body composition and effort, so treat the result as a solid estimate. The tool is free and needs no signup.
