FAQ

How accurate is the calorie calculation?

The calculator provides an estimate based on standard metabolic equivalents (METs). Individual results may vary based on metabolism and fitness level.

Does body weight affect the result?

Yes, heavier individuals generally burn more calories during the same activity because more energy is required to move their body mass.

Can I calculate calories for multiple activities?

You can calculate each activity separately by entering the specific duration and intensity for each session.

What is the purpose of the intensity level?

Intensity levels adjust the metabolic rate multiplier, allowing for a more precise calculation between light, moderate, and high-effort workouts.

Is this tool suitable for medical advice?

No, this tool is for informational purposes only and should not replace professional medical or nutritional advice.
