💡 Hiking Calorie Calculation

Hiking burns significantly more calories than walking due to terrain, elevation changes, and pack weight. Flat trail hiking burns ~3.5 MET, moderate hills ~6.0, steep terrain ~8.0, and scrambling ~10.0 MET.

Pack weight increases calorie burn — each additional kilogram adds roughly 2% to MET value. A 10 kg pack on steep terrain can increase your burn by 20% or more.

70 kg hiker, moderate hills, 60 min, no pack: ≈ 441 kcal. With 10 kg pack: ≈ 509 kcal.
