Estimate based on MET values. Actual energy use varies with intensity and metabolism.
How are calories burnt calculated?
The calculation is based on metabolic equivalents (MET), which measure the intensity of an activity. The formula is: calories = MET × weight (kg) × duration (hours). The more intense the activity and the heavier you are, the higher the energy use. It is an estimate: the real intensity and your fitness level change the result.
Moving more to build your deficit
Physical activity ideally complements your diet to create a calorie deficit. Remember to stay hydrated too, and to adapt your nutrition around exercise with our sports nutrition guides.
Frequently asked questions
Which activity burns the most calories?
Intense activities such as running, HIIT, skipping or swimming use the most energy. But the best activity is still the one you do regularly and enjoy.
Is the calculation accurate?
It is an estimate based on averages (MET values). Actual energy use depends on intensity, your muscle mass and your metabolism. Treat the figure as an order of magnitude.
Do you need to eat more when you exercise?
If you are trying to lose weight, not necessarily: exercise helps build the deficit. For performance or muscle gain, increase your intake around exercise.
