2026-05-28, 82kg, Apple Watch Ultra HR 170 avg. My reference for burpees is 820 kcal per hour. 28°C and humid, 6:45am at Tsuen Wan Gym. By rep 15 I wanted to stop.
MET 9.5 is the approximate equivalent of my 82kg rate, not a separate measurement. My 82kg reference is 820 kcal/hour. At 70kg, that's about 700. At 98kg, about 980. 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 410 kcal, close to McChicken (400 kcal). I'd treat that as a comparison, not a reason to earn a meal.
