How We Calculate Calories Burned Walking

We use the MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) formula, which is the gold standard in exercise physiology for estimating calorie expenditure.

The Formula

Calories = MET × Weight (kg) × Time (hours)

MET values vary by intensity: slow walking = 2.5 METs, moderate = 3.5 METs, brisk = 4.3 METs, fast = 5.0 METs.

Factors That Increase Burn

  • • Higher body weight
  • • Faster walking pace
  • • Walking uphill or on sand
  • • Carrying extra weight (backpack)
  • • Swinging arms vigorously

Important Notes

  • • Results are estimates (±15%)
  • • Individual metabolism varies
  • • Fitness level affects efficiency
  • • Hot weather increases burn slightly
