# predicateForWorkouts(with:totalEnergyBurned:)

Returns a predicate for matching workouts based on the total energy burned.

```
class func predicateForWorkouts(with operatorType: NSComparisonPredicate.Operator, totalEnergyBurned: HKQuantity) -> NSPredicate
```

## Parameters

`operatorType`

The operator type to use when comparing the total energy burned.

`totalEnergyBurned`

The target amount of energy burned.

## Return Value

A predicate for matching workouts based on the total energy burned. This predicate works only on workouts.

## Discussion

Use this convenience method to create a predicate that matches against a workout’s total energy burned. The following sample uses both the convenience method and a predicate format string to create equivalent predicates.

```objc
// Predicate matching workouts burning 500 calories or more
HKQuantity *energyBurned =
[HKQuantity quantityWithUnit:[HKUnit kilocalorieUnit] doubleValue:500];
 
NSPredicate *workout =
    [HKQuery predicateForWorkoutsWithOperatorType:
     NSGreaterThanOrEqualToPredicateOperatorType
     totalEnergyBurned:energyBurned];
 
NSPredicate *explicitWorkout =
[NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"%K >= %@",
 HKPredicateKeyPathWorkoutTotalEnergyBurned,
 energyBurned];
```
