The MET system
A MET is a multiple of resting metabolism: sitting is 1, jogging about 7. Calories = METs × weight (kg) × hours, which is why heavier people burn more at the same activity. Values here come from the Compendium of Physical Activities.
Estimates, not receipts
Fitness trackers and MET tables both carry ±20% error, and 'calories burned' displays on machines are notoriously generous. Exercise also nudges appetite up — for weight loss, the intake side of the ledger does most of the work.
