| METs Value | 1.5 | Baseline for sedentary activity |
Calorie Burn Analysis
Based on your input, here’s an analysis of your estimated calorie expenditure during studying.
Health Recommendations
- Consider taking short breaks (5-10 minutes every hour) to stand and stretch.
- Ensure balanced nutrition to fuel your brain and body effectively.
- Combine intellectual activity with regular physical exercise for overall well-being.

About the Calculation
This calculator uses Metabolic Equivalents (METs) to estimate calorie expenditure. 1 MET is equivalent to approximately 1 kilocalorie (kcal) per kilogram of body weight per hour of energy expenditure. For sedentary activities like studying, the MET value used is generally around 1.5. [1, 7, 11]
Important Considerations:
The calculation provides an *estimate*. Actual calorie burn can vary due to individual metabolic rates, the intensity of mental activity, and minor physical movements during studying. This tool is designed for general informational purposes and should not replace professional medical or nutritional advice.
Health Benefits and Risks:
While studying burns some calories, prolonged sitting can increase the risk of various health issues, including obesity, cardiovascular diseases, and diabetes. It is highly recommended to incorporate regular movement breaks into your study routine. Even short periods of light activity can significantly improve blood flow, reduce stiffness, and boost mental alertness. [12, 13, 14]
