How Steps to Calories Works
The calories you burn walking depends on several factors:
- Body weight - Heavier people burn more calories
- Walking speed - Faster pace = more calories
- Distance traveled - More steps = more distance = more calories
- Stride length - Taller people take longer strides
The Formula
This calculator uses a multi-step approach:
Stride length is estimated based on your height:
- Average stride ≈ Height × 0.415
Pace Comparison
| Pace | Speed | Calories/km/kg |
|---|---|---|
| Slow | 3.2 km/h | 0.57 |
| Normal | 4.8 km/h | 0.63 |
| Brisk | 6.4 km/h | 0.72 |
| Running | 9.6 km/h | 1.03 |
A brisk walk burns about 15% more calories per kilometer than a slow walk, plus you cover more distance in the same time!
