METS

 


Given:



  • Weight: 100 kg
  • Activity: Moderate walking (≈ 3.3 METs)
  • Duration: 30 minutes per day






🔥 Calories Burned




Formula:



Calories/min = MET × 3.5 × weight(kg) ÷ 200


= 3.3 × 3.5 × 100 ÷ 200


= 5.78 \text{ kcal per minute (approx.)}



For 30 minutes:



5.78 × 30 = 173 \text{ kcal per day (approx.)}



✅ 

Result:



~170–175 calories per day





📅 Weekly Estimate (If Done Daily)



173 × 7 ≈ 1,210 \text{ kcal per week}





📊 MET-Minutes




Daily:



3.3 × 30 = 99 \text{ MET-min/day}



Weekly:



99 × 7 = 693 \text{ MET-min/week}


This meets general health guidelines (which recommend ≥500–1,000 MET-min/week of moderate activity).




If you’d like, I can also calculate:


  • Fat loss estimate from this activity
  • Heart-health impact
  • Or compare moderate vs brisk walking for your weight
