Estimate calories burned from a step count, based on body weight.
How It Works
How Steps to Calories Calculator Works
Each step burns roughly 0.0005 calories per kilogram of body weight — a widely used rough estimate — so multiplying steps by weight and that constant gives an estimated calorie total.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does body weight matter for calories burned walking?
Moving a heavier body requires more energy per step, so calorie burn scales with body weight for the same activity — this is a standard assumption across most walking calorie estimates.
How accurate is this compared to a fitness tracker?
This gives a reasonable ballpark, but real fitness trackers also factor in pace, incline, and sometimes heart rate, so their estimates are usually more precise for your specific activity.
