Carpentry Calorie Calculator

Pick your body weight, working time, and job intensity (general carpentry or interior/heavy work) to instantly estimate the calories burned doing carpentry, with rice-bowl and body-fat equivalents.

Input

Estimate the calories burned doing carpentry work from your body weight, working time, and job intensity. METs are representative values for each activity, so treat the result as a rough guide.

How it works

  • Calories are calculated with the formula "METs x body weight (kg) x exercise time (hours) x 1.05". Working time is entered in minutes and converted to hours internally.
  • The intensity options use about 4.3 METs for general carpentry and about 5.5 METs for interior/heavy work, based on representative values from the National Institute of Health and Nutrition's revised METs table for physical activity.
  • Below the result, the calories are converted into bowls of rice at about 234 kcal per bowl to make it easier to picture the balance with your meals.
  • It also shows an estimate of body fat converted at about 7.2 kcal per gram. Actual changes in body fat depend on diet and metabolism, so this is only a reference value.
  • METs are only representative values for an activity, and actual calories burned vary by task, body size, temperature, and efficiency. Use the displayed figures as a rough guide.
  • If you want to manage your energy balance precisely for dieting or health, do not rely solely on this tool's results; consult a professional such as a doctor or registered dietitian.
