At about 7,700 kcal per kilogram of body fat, your logged sessions add up to roughly 0.00 kg of fat burned. The log is stored only for this page session and clears when you leave or reload.

For beginners: how to read this result
MET is an intensity scoreA MET of 1 is sitting still; a MET of 8 means you burn about eight times as much energy per minute.
Heavier bodies burn moreThe same activity costs more calories at a higher body weight, which is why weight is part of the formula.
Fat loss is slow on purposeOne kilogram of fat holds about 7,700 kcal, so a realistic weekly burn shifts the scale gradually.
Calorie figures are estimates from standardised MET values for an average person. Real energy use varies with fitness, body composition, terrain, weather and technique, so treat the numbers as a guide rather than an exact measurement. The weekly log is session-only and is not saved.

To get a result, pick a starting preset or set your own values: body weight, duration in minutes, an activity category and the matching activity with its intensity. The unit toggle switches between kilograms and pounds. The advanced section lets you override the activity with a custom MET value when you know the exact figure.

How the calorie estimate works

The calculator uses the standard MET equation. MET, the metabolic equivalent of task, scores an activity against sitting still: a MET of 1 is rest, while running at a brisk pace is close to a MET of 11. Calories per minute equal MET times 3.5 times body weight in kilograms, divided by 200. Multiplying by the duration gives the calories burned for the whole session, and the calculator also shows the rate per minute and per hour.

The activity list

More than one hundred activities are grouped into six categories: walking, running, cycling, gym and fitness, sports, and home and outdoor tasks. Each option carries its own MET value with an intensity or pace sub-choice, so a leisurely stroll and a power walk produce very different numbers even at the same body weight.

Food equivalents and the weekly log

The food cards translate the burn into everyday items so the effort is easy to picture. The weekly log lets you add several sessions, see a running total, and convert that total into kilograms of body fat at roughly 7,700 kcal per kilogram. The log is held only for the current page session and clears on reload.

What is not included

MET values describe an average person and do not account for individual fitness, body composition, terrain, weather, altitude or technique. Heart-rate or device-based estimates may differ. The result is a planning guide, not a precise measurement, and the fat-equivalent figure assumes energy balance is otherwise unchanged.
