Frequently Asked Questions
What formula does it use?
Calories per minute = MET × 3.5 × body weight in kg ÷ 200. At 8 METs, a 70 kg person burns 9.8 kcal a minute, or 441 kcal over 45 minutes.
Where do I find a MET value?
The Compendium of Physical Activities lists METs for hundreds of activities: about 3.5 to 4 for brisk walking, about 7 for jogging, and nearly 10 for running at 6 mph.
Why does my fitness tracker show a different number?
Trackers use heart rate and their own models, and MET values are population averages. Fitness level, efficiency, and terrain all shift the real burn, so treat either number as an estimate.
