METsAdvisor

MetsAdvisor is a command-line tool that calculates your weekly METs (Metabolic Equivalents) based on your daily steps and exercise habits. It helps you determine whether you are getting enough physical activity for maintaining good health, and provides suggestions for improvement.

METs are Metabolic Equivalents.

METs (Metabolic Equivalents) are units used to express the intensity of physical activity.

“One MET is defined as the energy cost of sitting quietly… moderate activity is about four times, and vigorous activity is about eight times higher.” — WHO: Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ) Analysis Guide https://www.who.int/publications/i/item/9789240015128

In short:

• 1 MET = resting energy expenditure
• 4 METs = moderate activity
• 8 METs = vigorous activity

METs are used worldwide to evaluate physical activity levels.
