Educational information only

All content on CalorieBurn — calculators, articles, tables, and examples — is published for general educational purposes. It is not exercise advice and is not a substitute for a qualified professional. We are not physician before beginning a new exercise programs, and no client or advisory relationship is created by your use of this Site.

MET-based calorie figures are population averages measured in laboratory conditions — individual burn varies ±20% with fitness, body composition, efficiency, and effort. Card machines overestimate by 20–40% for most users. Treat every output as a planning estimate, not a measurement.

Chest pain, dizziness, or unusual breathlessness during exercise is a stop signal and a medical conversation.

Accuracy of calculations

We implement well-known, publicly documented formulas (see the methodology section on each calculator page and the Compendium of Physical Activities (Ainsworth et al.) as applicable). Even correctly implemented formulas produce estimates that depend on your inputs and assumptions. Real-world outcomes vary. Do not rely on a single web tool for a consequential decision.

Advertising disclosure
