How are calories from MET calculated?

Calories/min = MET × 3.5 × weight(kg) ÷ 200. For a 70 kg person running at 9 METs for 30 min: 9 × 3.5 × 70 ÷ 200 × 30 = 330 kcal.

Does fitness level affect calorie burn?

More fit individuals burn fewer calories at the same absolute workload because they are more efficient. MET-based estimates apply to average fitness levels.
