Enter your weight and the duration of your Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (Bjj) session into the calculator to estimate the number of calories burned.

Bjj Calories Burned Formula

The formula to estimate the calories burned during a Bjj session is as follows:

Calories Burned = ((MET * 3.5 * Weight in kg) / 200) * Duration in minutes

Variables:

  • Weight is your body weight in pounds (lbs).
  • Duration is the length of the Bjj session in minutes.
  • MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) for Bjj is 4.0.

To use the calculator, input your weight in pounds and the duration of your Bjj session in minutes. The calculator will then estimate the number of calories you have burned.

What is MET?

MET stands for Metabolic Equivalent of Task, which is a unit that estimates the amount of energy used by the body during physical activity, compared to resting metabolism. A MET of 1 reflects the amount of energy expended while at rest. Higher MET values indicate higher energy expenditure.

How to Calculate Calories Burned in Bjj?

The following steps outline how to calculate the calories burned during a Bjj session.

  1. First, convert your weight from pounds to kilograms by dividing it by 2.2.
  2. Next, determine the duration of your Bjj session in minutes.
  3. Use the MET value for Bjj, which is 4.0.
  4. Apply the formula to calculate the calories burned.
  5. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
