Calories Burned Calculator

How Calorie Estimation Works

This calculator uses MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) values from the Compendium of Physical Activities. Different paces have different MET values — faster running burns more calories per minute but also takes less time per unit of distance.

Note: Calorie estimates are approximations. Actual calorie burn depends on many factors including terrain, temperature, wind, running efficiency, and individual metabolism. Use these figures as a guide, not an exact measurement.
