Frequently Asked Questions

About METs and calories

What are METs?

Metabolic Equivalents—activity energy cost relative to resting.

How do METs convert to calories?

Calories ≈ MET × kg × 3.5 ÷ 200 × minutes.

Why use kg instead of lbs?

The standard formula expects weight in kilograms.

Are MET values exact?

They are averages; real-world cost varies by efficiency and conditions.

Does body composition matter?

Yes—lean mass can influence energy cost at given workloads.

How to choose an activity?

Pick the closest description; intensity drives MET selection.

Is heart rate better?

HR helps but is influenced by heat, hydration, and stress.

Can I use this for intervals?

Estimate by weighting time at each MET intensity.

What about strength training?

Use appropriate MET values for lifting intensity.

Why do wearables differ?

They use proprietary models and sensor fusion.
