The first number generated for you, “Calories burned without running” is the amount of calories you burn by just performing daily functions. Simply speaking, this is the amount of calories you would need to eat to maintain your current weight and energy levels when doing nothing but eating, sleeping, and a slight bit of walking around.

The second number generated for you is the neat number, which is the number of calories you burned on during the run. By taking into account your weight, distance, and pace, we you can get an accurate measurement of the total calories you’ve burned.

The usefulness of this calculator lies in the third number, the “total calories burned for the day”.
