Calories = MET × Weight (kg) × Duration (hrs) × Climate Factor

The MET value of 2.3 for grocery shopping is sourced from the Compendium of Physical Activities. The climate factor of 1.00 accounts for Concord's average temperature of 62°F. Research shows that exercising in non-neutral temperatures increases energy expenditure as the body works to maintain its core temperature.
Grocery shopping involves walking through store aisles, reaching for items, pushing a cart, carrying bags, and loading and unloading your vehicle. While low in intensity, a typical grocery trip involves 30-60 minutes of continuous walking and light lifting. Carrying heavy bags from the car to the kitchen can briefly elevate the physical demand. For individuals who shop at large stores or make multiple trips per week, the cumulative calorie burn from grocery shopping contributes meaningfully to daily energy expenditure.
