01 / The calculation
How it works
Rough model: calories (kcal) = body weight in pounds × minutes × 0.0529. Running comparison uses 0.087 kcal per pound per minute. The energy-to-weight comparison divides by 3,500 kcal/lb (7,716 kcal/kg).

Keep in mind
A broad activity estimate. Workload, temperature, body composition and individual physiology are not measured. The energy-to-weight comparison is theoretical; it does not predict body-fat or scale-weight changes and is not a hydration, nutrition or exercise prescription.
