Workout Calorie Calculator
Enter body weight, workout duration, and an intensity in METs, and this tool estimates calories burned as MET x 3.5 x weight / 200 x minutes. 70 kg for 30 minutes at 5 METs burns about 184 kcal (368 kcal/hr).
What this calculator does
The Workout Calorie Calculator estimates your result instantly from the values you enter, using standard health & fitness formulas.

About Workout Calorie Calculator
The Workout Calorie Calculator uses the MET method: it multiplies your chosen intensity in METs by 3.5, your body weight, and duration, scaled by 200. Pick an intensity band and enter weight and minutes to estimate calories burned and a per-hour rate.
Formula & Mathematical Calculation
Calories Burned = f(Body Weight (kg), Duration (minutes), Intensity)
Calculated according to standard health formulas implemented in the calculator core.
Calculation Example
Enter Body Weight 70 kg, Duration 30 minutes, and Moderate (~5 METs). The tool computes 5 x 3.5 x 70 / 200 x 30 and shows 184 kcal burned, with a Per Hour rate of 368 kcal/hr.
Key Benefits
- Estimates calories burned from weight, time, and intensity
- Offers preset MET bands from light to intense
- Also shows an equivalent per-hour burn rate
- Uses the standard MET oxygen-cost calculation

Assumptions & Limitations
What the calculation assumes
- Every value you enter is treated as an exact, known amount.
- Any rate or interval you enter is assumed to hold for the whole period unless the form asks for it separately.
- Results use standard published formulas and account only for the values entered above.
- Rounding is applied for display; the underlying calculation uses your full precision.
- Results are returned in the same units you enter, unless the tool states the output unit.
What it does not cover
- Workout Calorie Calculator produces a calculated result for reference and learning, not a certified or official measurement.
- Real-world outcomes differ when tolerances, rounding rules or local standards apply.
- Definitions and standards vary by region and change over time; verify the convention that applies to your case.
- Figures are only as accurate as the inputs you supply — check them before acting on the result.
- For work where the result carries real consequences, confirm it against an authoritative source.
