A steps to calories calculator estimates energy burned from walking based on step count and body weight. Heavier individuals burn more calories for the same number of steps due to the greater work required.
Fórmula
calories = steps × 0.05 (rough estimate); more precise: MET × weight_kg × hours
- steps
- Daily steps (steps) — Pedometer or app step count
- cal
- Calories burned (cal) — Approximate energy expenditure
- weight
- Body weight (kg) — Used for more precise MET calculation
Guia passo a passo
- 1Calories ≈ Steps × Weight (kg) × 0.0005
- 2Average stride length: ~0.762m
- 310,000 steps ≈ 7.62 km
- 4MET (metabolic equivalent) for walking ≈ 3.5

Perguntas frequentes
How many calories does 10,000 steps burn?
Roughly 500 calories (depends on weight, pace, terrain). Heavier people burn more; walking vs. running differs.
What is a MET?
Metabolic equivalent of task. Brisk walking = 3.5 METs; running = 6–10 METs. Formula: MET × weight (kg) × hours = calories.
How accurate are fitness trackers?
±10–30% variance depending on device. Heart rate monitors are more accurate than step count alone. Use trends, not absolute numbers.
