MET Values
MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) values measure the energy consumption of activities. 1 MET = resting metabolic rate (about 1 kcal/kg/hour).

What is this tool for?
Calculation Formula
Calories = MET × Weight (kg) × Time (hours). MET value is adjusted according to activity type and intensity.
Intensity Effect
Low intensity: MET × 0.7, Moderate intensity: MET × 1.0, High intensity: MET × 1.4. Calorie burn increases as intensity increases.
Realistic Results
This calculation is based on scientific MET values and produces realistic results. It does not provide exaggerated or misleading values.

About Calorie Burn Calculation
Calorie burn calculation is a method used to measure the calories burned in sports activities. This calculation uses a scientific formula based on MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) values.
MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) Values
MET is a unit that measures the energy consumption of activities:
1 MET:
Resting metabolic rate (approximately 1 kcal/kg/hour)
Walking (general)
Cycling, swimming (general)
Running, basketball
10.0 MET:
Jumping rope
MET values are based on scientific sources such as the Compendium of Physical Activities.
Calculation Formula
The calorie burn calculation formula is:
Formula:
Calories = MET × Weight (kg) × Duration (hours)
MET Value:
Base MET for the activity type × Intensity multiplier
Intensity Multipliers:
Low intensity: 0.7
Medium intensity: 1.0
High intensity: 1.4
Activity Types and MET Values
Walking:
Running:
Cycling:
Swimming:
Fitness / Gym:
Football (Soccer):
Basketball:
Yoga / Pilates:
Jumping Rope:
10.0 MET
Intensity Levels
Activity intensity affects the MET value:
Low Intensity:
MET × 0.7 (light pace, comfortable breathing)
Medium Intensity:
MET × 1.0 (normal pace, light sweating)
High Intensity:
MET × 1.4 (intense pace, heavy breathing)
Example Calculations
70 kg, 30 minutes running (medium intensity):
MET = 8.0 × 1.0 = 8.0
Calories = 8.0 × 70 × 0.5 = 280 kcal
70 kg, 60 minutes walking (low intensity):
MET = 3.5 × 0.7 = 2.45
Calories = 2.45 × 70 × 1.0 = 171.5 kcal
70 kg, 20 minutes jumping rope (high intensity):
MET = 10.0 × 1.4 = 14.0
Calories = 14.0 × 70 × 0.33 = 323.4 kcal
Fat Burning Estimation
Fat burning estimation (for consultancy purposes):
About 70% of total calories come from fat (estimated)
1 gram of fat = 9 kcal
Fat burning = (Total calories × 0.7) / 9
Note:
This is only an estimate. Actual fat burning varies by individual, metabolism, and nutrition.
Important Notes
Points to consider about calorie burn calculation:
Calculations are based on MET values and are estimates
Actual calorie burn may vary by individual, metabolism, and nutrition
Regular exercise and healthy nutrition are important
Consult a nutrition expert for exact information
Fat burning estimates are for consultancy purposes only
Calorie deficit and regular exercise are required for healthy weight loss
Frequently Asked Questions
Calorie burn is calculated with a formula based on MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) values: Calories = MET × Weight (kg) × Duration (hours). MET value is adjusted according to the activity type and intensity.
MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) is a unit that measures the energy consumption of activities. 1 MET = resting metabolic rate (approx. 1 kcal/kg/hour). Walking has values like 3.5 MET, running 8 MET, jumping rope 10 MET.
Intensity level affects the MET value: Low intensity MET × 0.7, Medium intensity MET × 1.0, High intensity MET × 1.4. Calorie burn increases as intensity increases.
Activities with high MET values burn more calories. For example, jumping rope (10 MET) burns more calories than running (8 MET). However, weight and duration are also important.
Fat burning estimation is calculated as approximately 70% of total calories. Since 1 gram of fat = 9 kcal, the fat burn = (Total calories × 0.7) / 9 formula is found. This is just an estimate.
This calculation is based on scientific MET values and produces realistic results. However, results are estimates and actual values may change depending on the person, metabolism, and nutrition. Consult a nutrition expert for exact information.
