Walking Calorie Calculator
Walking burns between 200-400 calories per hour, depending on pace and terrain. Incline walking burns significantly more than flat terrain walking.
How the Calculator Works
Calories Burned = MET × Weight (kg) × Time (hours)
MET Values by Walking Pace
| Walking Pace | MET Value |
|---|---|
| Incline Walking | 6.0 |
| Very Brisk (6.5 km/h) | 5.0 |
| Brisk (5.5 km/h) | 4.3 |
| Treadmill | 3.8 |
| Moderate (4.8 km/h) | 3.5 |
| Slow (3.2 km/h) | 2.8 |
Example Calculation
For a 70 kg person walking briskly for 30 minutes:
1. MET Value: 4.3 (brisk walking)
2. Calculation: 4.3 × 70 × 0.5 = 150 calories
3. Estimated Steps: ~3,600 steps
