![]() ![]() I don't know how Cronometer is calculating calories, but I do know that they're off a little bit from what I'd expect. ![]() MyFitnessPal is counting the BMR calories. Great job Cronometer.Ĭomparatively, if I input an activity with 2 METs for 60 min into my MyFitnessPal it gives me 120 calories. So it looks like Cronometer discounts the first MET when calculating.Īnswer: Cronometer doesn't seem to count the BMR. But It seems Cronometer is going by the body weight formula, which is close enough if you're not extremely fat or extremely lean.Īccording to the body weight formula, I would burn 51 calories at 1 METs for 60 minutes. More accurately, the formula would be METs x BMR cal per minutes = calories per minute. METs x 3.5 x (your body weight in kilograms) / 200 = calories per minute The formula to calculate calories burned from METs is: When I input 60 minutes of playing the flute in Cronometer, I burn 51 calories. Meanwhile, playing the flute is 2.0 METs. Meaning it burns 1.0 times the amount of calories you burn at rest (bmr). The MET for " lying quietly and watching television" is 1.0. If you go to Cronometer and input 60 minutes of " lying quietly and watching television", Cronometer says it burns 0 calories. ![]() "Our exercise estimates are based on the adjusted MET values given from the Compendium of Physical Activities." ![]()
