Frequently Asked Questions

What is MET?

MET (Metabolic Equivalent) measures activity intensity. Calories = MET × weight (kg) × hours. Sitting is 1 MET, brisk walking ~4.3, running ~9.8.

Why do heavier people burn more calories?

Moving a heavier body requires more energy, so calorie burn scales with body weight.
