Exercise Calorie Burn Calculator

MET stands for metabolic equivalent. One MET is the energy you use at rest; an activity with a MET of 8 uses eight times more energy.

It is a good average based on the Compendium of Physical Activities. Your actual burn depends on fitness, intensity and body composition.

Moving a heavier body requires more energy, so heavier people burn more calories doing the same activity for the same time.

Generally no — estimates can overcount. Use exercise for a larger deficit unless you are actively trying to gain weight.
