How We Calculate Calories Burned for Ice Fishing in Chandler
Our calculator uses the standard MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) formula with a local climate adjustment for Chandler:
Calories = MET × Weight (kg) × Duration (hrs) × Climate Factor

The MET value of 2 for ice fishing is sourced from the Compendium of Physical Activities. The climate factor of 1.00 accounts for Chandler's average temperature of 75°F. Research shows that exercising in non-neutral temperatures increases energy expenditure as the body works to maintain its core temperature.
Ice fishing is a winter outdoor activity that involves fishing through holes drilled in frozen lakes or rivers. While it may seem sedentary, the activity includes significant physical effort from drilling holes, carrying equipment across ice, setting up shelters, and enduring cold temperatures which increases metabolic rate. The body burns additional calories to maintain core temperature in cold environments, making ice fishing more physically demanding than it appears.
