How Hiking Calorie Burn Is Estimated

Formula

Calories = MET x Total Weight (kg) x Duration (hours)

Total weight includes body weight plus pack weight, since carrying a heavier load increases energy expenditure.

Pack Weight Effect

Carrying a pack increases calorie burn proportionally to the added weight. A 20 lb pack on a 160 lb person adds about 12% more calories burned.

Exemple Résolu

A 160 lb person hikes moderate hills for 3 hours with a 10 lb pack.

  1. Total weight = (160 + 10) x 0.4536 = 77.1 kg.
  2. Calories = 6 x 77.1 x 3 = 1388 kcal.
  3. Per hour = 6 x 77.1 = 463 kcal/hr.
