Calories burned walking

Walking calories depend mainly on body weight, walking time, speed, and terrain. This calculator uses a MET-based estimate:

\begin{aligned} Calories = MET * 3.5 * weight_kg / 200 * minutes \end{aligned}

Where:

MET=

Metabolic equivalent for walking intensity

weight_kg

Body weight in kilograms

minutes=

Total walking duration

Calories = MET * 3.5 * body weight kg / 200 * minutes

MET is an exercise intensity value. A relaxed walk uses a lower MET, while brisk walking or hiking uses a higher MET.

This is an estimate, not a medical measurement. Fitness trackers can differ because they use heart rate, stride length, and personal calibration.

A common estimate is about 70 to 120 calories per mile, depending mostly on body weight, walking speed, and terrain.

Walking faster usually burns more calories per minute. Calories per mile may rise modestly because brisk walking is more intense.

It is an estimate. Real calorie burn varies with fitness level, stride efficiency, grade, wind, load carried, and individual metabolism.
