2026-05-25, 82kg, Apple Watch Ultra HR 162 avg. My reference for battle ropes is 680 kcal per hour. 28°C indoors, 4:50pm at Tsuen Wan Gym. Thirty seconds in and I was done.
MET 7.9 is the approximate equivalent of my 82kg rate, not a separate measurement. My 82kg reference is 680 kcal/hour. At 70kg, that's about 580. At 98kg, about 813. The formula (minutes × MET × 3.5 × kg) / 200 is reference only. USDA FoodData is used for food cost, not exercise burn.
What could 30 min cover? About 340 kcal, close to Ube Pastry (340 kcal). I'd treat that as a comparison, not a reason to earn a meal.
