How many calories do I burn exercising?

Calories burned depend on the activity, your body weight and how long you do it. The estimate uses MET values: calories = MET x 3.5 x weight in kg / 200, multiplied by the minutes. Heavier people and higher-intensity activities burn more.

How many calories does walking burn?

Walking at a moderate pace (about 3.5 METs) burns roughly 4 calories per minute for a 70 kg (154 lb) adult, so around 120 calories in 30 minutes. Faster walking or hills burn more.

How it works

The estimate uses MET (Metabolic Equivalent) values: calories = MET × 3.5 × your weight in kg ÷ 200, multiplied by the minutes. Heavier bodies and harder activities burn more.

Burn vs. eat

Exercise burns fewer calories than most people expect, so weight control comes mostly from what you eat. See the calories in common foods and log yours by photo.
