1. What is the Calories Burned Equation?

The Calories Burned Equation estimates the number of calories expended during weight lifting activities. It uses the MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) value, which represents the energy cost of physical activities.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the equation:

\[ Calories = MET \times Body Weight (kg) \times Time (hours) \]

Where:

\( MET \) — Metabolic Equivalent of Task (typically 3-6 for weight lifting)
\( Body Weight \) — Individual's body weight in kilograms
\( Time \) — Duration of the activity in hours

Explanation: The equation multiplies the MET value (which indicates the intensity of the activity) by body weight and time to estimate total calories burned.

3. Importance of Calories Calculation

Details: Accurate calorie estimation helps in weight management, exercise planning, and understanding energy expenditure during physical activities.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter MET value (typically between 3-6 for weight lifting), body weight in kg, and time in hours. All values must be valid (MET 3-6, weight > 0, time > 0).

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is MET value?
A: MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) is a unit that represents the energy cost of physical activities. One MET is defined as the energy expenditure while sitting at rest.

Q2: Why does MET range from 3-6 for weight lifting?
A: The MET value varies based on the intensity of weight lifting. Light weight training has lower MET values (around 3), while vigorous weight training can reach MET values of 6 or higher.

Q3: How accurate is this calculation?
A: This provides an estimate. Actual calories burned may vary based on individual metabolism, exercise intensity, and other factors.

Q4: Can I use this for other exercises?
A: Yes, but you need to use the appropriate MET value for the specific activity. Different activities have different MET values.

Q5: Should I use this for weight loss planning?
A: This can be a useful tool for estimating calorie expenditure, but for precise weight loss planning, consult with a healthcare professional or nutritionist.
