Estimate calories burned from steps, body weight, and stride length.
How this calculator works
How to use this calculator
Enter your steps and body weight. Optionally enter stride length. The calculator estimates walking distance and calories burned.
Formula used
Distance = Steps × Stride Length. Calories are estimated from body weight and distance using a simple walking energy estimate.
Example calculation
For 10,000 steps, 70 kg body weight, and 0.75 m stride length, distance is about 7.5 km and estimated calories burned are about 394 calories.
What the result means
The result is a rough estimate of calories burned from walking. Real calorie burn varies with pace, terrain, fitness level, incline, stride, and individual metabolism.
Frequently asked questions
What if I do not know my stride length?
The calculator uses 0.75 meters as a default estimate.
Is this accurate for running?
It is designed as a walking estimate, not a precise running calculator.
Why is calorie burn only an estimate?
Calorie burn depends on many individual and environmental factors.
