Enter your weight and the time you spend shopping into the calculator to estimate the calories you burn. This calculator helps you understand how everyday activities contribute to your fitness.

Shopping Calories Burned Formula

The formula used to calculate the calories burned while shopping is:

Calories Burned = MET * Weight (kg) * Time (hrs)

Variables:

  • MET is the Metabolic Equivalent of Task, a unit that estimates the energy used by the body during physical activity, compared to resting metabolism. For shopping, the MET value is 2.3.
  • Weight is the body weight in kilograms.
  • Time is the duration of the shopping activity in hours.

To calculate the calories burned while shopping, multiply the MET value of shopping by your body weight in kilograms and the duration of the activity in hours.

Example Problem:

Let’s say you weigh 150 pounds and you spent 90 minutes shopping. Here’s how you would calculate the calories burned:

First, convert your weight to kilograms: 150 pounds = 68.04 kg (150 * 0.453592).

Next, convert the time spent shopping to hours: 90 minutes = 1.5 hours (90 / 60).

Finally, use the formula: Calories Burned = 2.3 METs * 68.04 kg * 1.5 hours = 234.66 calories.
