How it's calculated

Calories = MET × weight (kg) × time (hours)
MET values: Compendium of Physical Activities (Ainsworth et al., 2011)

A MET is the energy of sitting quietly, about 1 kcal per kilogram per hour; an activity of 8 MET burns eight times that. The result includes what you would burn at rest, which is shown separately. Fitness, efficiency and terrain change the real figure, so treat it as a fair estimate rather than a measurement.
