calorie burn

Metabolic energy output

Calorie burn is the energy expended by the body during activity or at rest, measured in calories.

Exercise trackers display calorie burn to help users gauge workout intensity: My morning run had a calorie burn of 400 calories.

The term appears constantly in fitness contexts, though the numbers devices report are estimates at best.
