Boxing calories burned
200 calories
Energy above rest: about 170 kcal.
What do the numbers mean?
Total expenditure includes the energy your body would use at rest during the same time. Energy above rest subtracts that resting portion. Do not add exercise again if it is already included in your daily budget.

Log your activity in Calotank
Meals use your daily budget; logged activity adds calories to it. Manual logging is free.
1. Add activity
Open activity logging and enter the calories and an optional name. This example logs a walk at 400 kcal.
2. See the updated balance
Before logging, 1,400 kcal remains. After logging: 1,400 + 400 = 1,800 kcal. The orange portion shows calories added through activity.

Exercise calorie questions
Which boxing format matches my training?
Select bag work, sparring or boxing in the ring according to what you actually do. These are separate formats. The ring value should not cover an entire gym visit containing other exercises or long breaks.
How should I calculate rounds?
Add the duration of active rounds. Six three-minute rounds represent 18 active minutes. Separate recovery breaks should not use the same boxing value.
Why does my smartwatch give a different number?
The calculator uses an average MET value, weight and time. A watch may also use heart rate and its own model. One number may include resting expenditure while the other counts only active calories. Both are estimates; compare the same duration and definition first.
Can I add exercise calories to my daily budget?
Activity logged manually in Calotank adds to your daily budget. Total expenditure includes calories you would use at rest, so it does not directly equal an extra budget. Even some expenditure above rest may already be included in your daily budget. Only account for additional exercise not already included, and avoid logging the same activity twice.
Does this calculate a full day’s expenditure?
This calculator estimates expenditure during a selected exercise session. Use the daily calorie needs calculator for a whole-day estimate based on resting metabolism and your usual activity. Open daily calorie needs →
How are calories burned calculated?
Total expenditure (kcal) = MET × weight (kg) × time (min) ÷ 60. Energy above rest = (MET − 1) × weight × time ÷ 60. One MET represents a standard resting expenditure of 1 kcal/kg/hour.
Example: 5.8 × 70 × 30 ÷ 60 = 203 kcal, or about 200 calories. Energy above rest is about 170 kcal.
Results are rounded to the nearest 10 kcal; values below 10 are shown as “< 10”. The source dataset covers adults aged 19–59. The estimate does not measure your own metabolism; fitness, technique, terrain and conditions affect expenditure. This is not a full-day calorie target.
