Calorie Burn Estimation

Calorie Burn Estimation predicts energy use during activity from heart rate, movement, and models.

Methods

MethodInputsTypical error
Wearable HR + motionOptical HR, accelerometerModerate; improves with strong HR signal
MET tablesActivity type and durationModerate to high; ignores individual variation
Power-based (cycling)Watts and efficiencyLower when calibrated
GPS pace (running)Pace, grade, massModerate; grade and form matter

Fuel uses device data plus your history to refine burn estimates over time.
