MET Calorie Burn Formula

Calories = MET x 3.5 x Weight(kg) / 200 x Duration(min)

One MET equals 3.5 mL of oxygen per kg of body weight per minute, which is the resting metabolic rate.

Ejemplo Resuelto

A 170 lb person doing an activity at MET 5.0 for 30 minutes.

  1. 01Weight = 77.1 kg
  2. 02Calories = 5.0 x 3.5 x 77.1 / 200 x 30
  3. 03= 5.0 x 3.5 x 77.1 / 200 x 30 = 203 kcal

Preguntas Frecuentes

What is a MET value?

MET stands for Metabolic Equivalent of Task. A MET of 1.0 is resting. Activities with higher MET values require proportionally more energy.

Where do I find MET values for activities?

The Compendium of Physical Activities lists MET values for hundreds of activities. Common values range from 1 (sleeping) to 23 (running at sprint pace).

Are MET-based calorie estimates accurate?

MET estimates are reasonably accurate for most people. They may overestimate for lighter individuals and underestimate for heavier ones due to the linear weight assumption.
