Walking Calories

Calculate calories burned walking.

Formula & Methodology

Calories burned ≈ MET × weight (kg) × duration (hours), where walking has a MET of roughly 3.5.

Worked Example

A 70 kg person walking for 60 minutes burns about 245 calories.

Frequently Asked Questions

How are walking calories estimated?

Using a MET value for walking multiplied by body weight and time. Faster pace and incline raise the burn.

Does speed matter?

Yes. Brisk walking burns more per minute than a slow stroll, and adding hills increases the calorie cost further.

Is this medical advice?

No. Estimates vary by fitness level and terrain. Use for general tracking.
