There would have to be a lot of assumptions made. Say you were on a treadmill. The machine would assume that at
this speed, and
this incline, the average human body burns approximately
this many calories. Cheaper machines might dispense with speed and incline and just give you something based on time. It's adequate for rough approximations, but not really accurate.
