How Activity Calories Are Estimated
Calorique uses the standard MET formula: calories = MET x body weight in kilograms x duration in hours. MET values come from exercise physiology references and estimate relative energy cost compared with rest. Actual calorie burn varies by body size, pace, terrain, temperature, and fitness level.
