hi,
I ruck 13 pounds and do an incline of 7 on the treadmill for 30 minutes. How can I figure out calories burned?

    It doesn't burn as many calories as some people used to assume. Try this calculator:

    Try this calculator: https://exrx.net/Calculators/WalkRunMETs

    use net calories and compare with your bodyweight and bodyweight plus backpack weight. It won't really make much of a difference. It's less calories if you're holding onto something.

    I'm doubtful. Only some models have rucking as an exercise type, with ability to specify added weight. If it doesn't know how much extra weight, heart rate and its other measurements can mislead.
