Calorie Burned Calculator – Know How Many Calories You Burn by Activity
Want to know how many calories you burn during walking, running, swimming, or even housework? Our free Calorie Burned Calculator gives you an instant estimate of how many calories your body burns based on your weight, activity type, and duration. Whether you're working out at the gym or doing daily chores, tracking calories burned can help you achieve your health and fitness goals.
How Does the Calorie Burn Calculator Work?
This tool uses a science-backed formula based on MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) values. Every activity has a MET score representing its energy cost. The formula is:
Calories Burned = (MET × Weight in kg × Duration in minutes) ÷ 60
If you enter your weight in pounds (lbs), the calculator will convert it to kilograms (kg) for accurate results. This method is used by health professionals, gyms, and fitness apps globally.
