How it works
Calories = MET × weight (kg) × hours; MET rises with walking speedFrequently Asked Questions
How many calories does walking burn?
It depends on weight and pace: a 70 kg person walking briskly (5 km/h) for an hour burns about 230 calories; picking up to 6.5 km/h raises it to around 350. Heavier bodies burn more at the same pace.
Does walking speed change calorie burn much?
Yes — the MET value climbs from about 2.8 for a stroll to 5.0+ for a brisk pace and higher for uphill or power walking. Faster and steeper both increase burn per minute.
How many calories per 10,000 steps?
Roughly 300–500 for most adults, depending on weight and stride — about 30–50 calories per 1,000 steps. Step-to-calorie estimates are rougher than time-and-pace ones.
