Calories Burned Pulling Weeds Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Calories Burned is:

\[ \text{Calories Burned} = \frac{\text{Weight in pounds} \times \text{MET} \times \text{Time in minutes}}{60} \]

Where:

Calories Burned: The estimated energy expenditure during the activity.
Weight: The person’s weight in pounds.
MET: The Metabolic Equivalent of Task, a unit that estimates the energy used by the body during physical activity compared to resting metabolism.
Time: The duration of the activity in minutes.

Let's say a person weighs 150 pounds and spends 30 minutes pulling weeds. Using the formula:

\[ \text{Calories Burned} = \frac{150 \times 4.0 \times 30}{60} = 300 \text{ kcal} \]

So, the person burns 300 calories.
