About Cooking
Cooking is an everyday activity that contributes to your total daily energy expenditure. With a MET value of 2.0, regular daily activities add up significantly over the course of a day and week.
Calorie Impact

- Active daily routines can burn 200-500 extra calories per day compared to sedentary behavior
- Small increases in daily movement compound into meaningful fitness improvements
Maximizing Daily Movement
Look for opportunities to be more active throughout the day. Take stairs instead of elevators, walk or bike for short errands, and break up long periods of sitting with movement breaks. Every bit of activity counts toward your health goals.
