Estimate calories burned from steps
Estimate calories burned from a step count, your body weight, and walking pace.
Uses a MET-based estimate from your walking pace and body weight. Actual calorie burn varies with terrain, incline, and individual fitness.
Enter the number of steps you walked, plus your body weight (with the units toggle for kg or lb).
Choose slow, average, or brisk, which sets both the cadence (steps per minute) and effort level used in the estimate.
Calories burned and estimated walking time are calculated instantly.
Frequently asked
How is calories burned from steps calculated?
Your step count and pace's cadence give an estimated walking duration, and a MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) value for that pace, combined with your body weight, gives the calorie estimate.
How accurate is this?
It's a reasonable estimate for flat, steady walking. Terrain, incline, stride length, and individual fitness all affect the real number.
Is this medical advice?
No. This is a general estimate for informational purposes only, not medical advice. Talk to a healthcare provider or certified trainer before changing your training or diet.
