Rucking Calorie Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the calories burned while rucking is:

\[ \text{C} = \frac{\text{BMR} \times \text{MET}}{24} \]

Where:

\( \text{C} \) is the Calories Burned per Hour (kcal/hour)
\( \text{BMR} \) is the Basal Metabolic Rate (kcal/day)
\( \text{MET} \) is the Metabolic Equivalent of Task

Rucking Calories Definition

A rucking calorie is a measure of the total amount of energy burned while hiking under weight. Rucking is an exercise that involves walking or hiking with a weighted backpack, and the calories burned during this activity can be calculated based on your BMR and the MET associated with the activity.

Example Calculation

Let's consider an example:

Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR): 1800 kcal/day
Metabolic Equivalent of Task (MET): 6

Using the formula to calculate the calories burned while rucking:

\[ \text{C} = \frac{1800 \times 6}{24} = \frac{10800}{24} = 450 \, \text{kcal/hour} \]

This demonstrates that with a BMR of 1800 kcal/day and a MET of 6, the calories burned while rucking would be 450 kcal/hour.
