Frequently asked questions
How accurate is the calorie burn estimate?
The estimate is based on MET values and your weight, which are good predictors for most people. However, individual factors like fitness level, body composition, and exercise intensity can cause variations of up to 20-30%.
Why does the calculator ask for height and age?
Height and age are used to estimate your basal metabolic rate (BMR) and to refine the calorie burn estimate, as metabolism tends to decrease with age and varies with body size.
Can I use this for weight loss planning?
Yes, you can use the estimated calories burned to help plan a calorie deficit. However, for sustainable weight loss, it's recommended to combine exercise with a balanced diet and consult a healthcare professional.
