How to use this tool

Select a type of activity and enter in how long (in minutes) you did this activity. Enter your weight in kilograms (kg).

Click 'calculate' for an estimation of how much energy you would use in carrying out this activity, in Calories* and in kilojoules.

*One ‘uppercase C’ Calorie is actually a kilocalorie (1000 ‘lower case c’ calories) and is equal to 4 kilojoules (rounded to the nearest whole number).

Why is this important?

Balancing the energy you're taking in with the energy you're using can help with reaching or maintaining a healthy weight.

Find out how much energy you're burning with different kinds of activities. The amount of energy you use depends on what activity you're doing, how intense the activity is, how long you do it for, and your weight.
