Factors Affecting Calorie Burn

Primary Factors

  • Body Weight: Heavier individuals burn more calories
  • Activity Intensity: Higher intensity = more calories
  • Duration: Longer activities burn more calories
  • Body Composition: More muscle = higher metabolism

Secondary Factors

  • Age: Metabolism slows with age
  • Gender: Men typically burn more calories
  • Fitness Level: Affects efficiency of movement
  • Environmental Conditions: Temperature, altitude

💡 Important Notes

  • • These calculations are estimates based on average MET values
  • • Individual calorie burn can vary by ±20% due to personal factors
  • • Use a heart rate monitor for more accurate measurements
  • • Consistency in exercise is more important than exact calorie counts
