Kcal Burned Chart: Sports, Exercises & Activities

Introducing our comprehensive kcal Burned Chart encompassing over 300 workouts - a diverse range of sports, exercises, and activities. This chart allows you to accurately calculate kcal burned based on weight and workout intensity. It features a 'Measure' column that categorizes the intensity of the workouts into three tiers - easy, medium, hard - based on various parameters, including speed. In addition, it includes four 'Body Weight' columns for those weighing 59kg, 70kg, 82kg, and 93kg, respectively. Each column showcases the estimated amount of kcals one can expect to burn in an hour, offering a close-to-accurate projection of kcals burned.

The data presented in our chart serves as the foundation for our exercise kcal calculator. If your weight does not exactly match one of the four columns, our system employs a smart averaging method to establish caloric burn, taking into account the two respective columns where your weight falls in between. This ensures that you receive a personalized and accurate estimation of kcal burned. Furthermore, our calculator isn't confined to one-hour workout data; it allows for custom durations, delivering you precise results for any length of workout.

TDEE: Total Daily Energy Expenditure

The Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) Calculator is another advanced tool that complements our kcal expenditure calculators. The TDEE calculator is essentially a measure of how many calories your body needs to function, taking into account not only your physical activity but also the energy required for basic bodily functions.

TDEE is calculated based on your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), physical activity level (PAL), and the thermic effect of food. Your BMR is essentially the number of kcal your body needs to maintain basic physiological functions like breathing and digestion when at rest. PAL is a measure of the kcal expended during physical activity, much like what our kcal Burned Calculators. The thermic effect of food, on the other hand, is the energy required to digest and absorb the food you eat.

With the TDEE Calculator for weight loss, we are thus providing you with a more holistic understanding of your kcal expenditure towards losing weight. By taking into account all aspects of energy usage - resting, digesting, and exercising, you can create a more tailored fitness plan. This comprehensive approach to calorie calculation enables our users to make informed decisions about nutrition and exercise, ultimately leading to more effective and sustainable health and fitness outcomes.

Calories vs Kcal: What's the Difference?

A common source of confusion in the realm of nutrition and exercise is the difference between calories and kilocalories (kcal). In day-to-day language, when we speak of 'calories' in food or exercise, we're usually referring to 'kilocalories'. The term 'calorie' is often used interchangeably with 'kilocalorie' in the diet and nutrition context. However, strictly speaking, a kilocalorie (kcal) is the metric unit that is equivalent to 1,000 small calories (cal). In essence, when we talk about the 'calories' in food, we're often really talking about 'kilocalories'.

Just as the units of energy expenditure are often misunderstood, so too are the units of body weight. Body weight is commonly measured in pounds (lbs) in countries like the United States, while kilograms (kg) are used in places that employ the metric system, such as Europe. 1 kilogram is equivalent to approximately 2.20462 pounds. When converting body weight from pounds to kilograms (or vice versa), it's important to remember this rate.

For those interested in calculating their energy expenditure in both calories and kilocalories, we recommend using our Calories Burned Calculator. This tool provides a comprehensive understanding of your energy expenditure, presenting results in both units, allowing you to understand and compare these measurements effectively. By gaining a full understanding of these units and how they apply to your body weight and energy expenditure, you can make more informed decisions about your health and fitness journey.

Frequently Asked Questions

-

What does kcal mean in terms of calories burned?

Kcal stands for kilocalories, which is the metric unit equivalent to 1,000 small calories. When we refer to calories burned during exercise, we're really talking about kilocalories.

-

Is there a difference between kcal and calories on nutrition labels?

No, there's no difference. The term 'calorie' on a food label actually refers to 'kilocalorie'.

-

How many kcal should I burn per day?

The number of kcal you should burn per day depends on various factors including your age, sex, weight, and activity level. To determine a specific number, consult with a health professional or use an online calculator like our Calories Burned Calculator.

-

What does it mean when my fitness app says I burned 300 kcal?

If your fitness app says you burned 300 kcal, it means you've expended energy equivalent to 300 kilocalories (3,000 calories) during your workout.

-

How do I convert calories to kcal?

To convert calories to kcal, you simply divide the number of calories by 1,000. For instance, 5,000 calories would be 5 kcal.

-

Is burning 500 kcal a day enough to lose weight?

Creating a calorie deficit of 500 kcal a day could potentially lead to weight loss, as it totals 3,500 kcal per week, roughly equivalent to losing 1 pound of body fat. However, it's always best to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any weight loss program.

-

What kind of exercises will burn the most kcal?

High-intensity exercises such as running, cycling, or HIIT workouts typically burn the most kcal per hour.

-

How does body weight affect the number of kcal burned during exercise?

Generally, a person who weighs more will burn more kcal during the same exercise performed by a lighter person. This is because more energy is required to move a larger body mass.

-

Why does my heart rate affect the number of kcal I burn?

Your heart rate is an indicator of how hard your body is working during exercise. The higher the heart rate, the more energy your body is using, and the more kcal you're burning.

-

Are the kcal burned on fitness machines accurate?

Fitness machines usually provide an estimate of the kcal burned. The actual number can vary depending on various factors like your weight, age, and fitness level. For a more precise measurement, consider using our free tools that calculate how many calories burned on a treadmill, stationary bike, and weightlifting.
