How It Calculates
The calculator uses the MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) formula to estimate calories burned. The MET value changes based on speed and other individual factors such as weight, height, age, and gender. The formula used is:
Calories Burned = MET value * weight (kg) * time (hours)
The MET value for walking changes based on speed. For instance, walking at a moderate pace of 5 km/h (3.1 mph) has an MET value of approximately 3.5.
Limitations
Remember, this calculator provides an estimate and may not be 100% accurate. Individual metabolic rates can vary, and the MET values are averages.
