How EKCal estimates walking calories

The calculator estimates speed from your time and distance when available, then selects an approximate walking intensity. Flat walking around 3 mph is treated near 3.5 METs, while brisk walking is higher. Incline increases the estimate.

Frequently asked questions

How accurate is a walking calorie calculator?

It is an estimate. Accuracy depends on body weight, pace, incline, step length and terrain. Use the same method consistently rather than treating the number as exact.

How many calories does 30 minutes of walking burn?

For many adults, 30 minutes of normal walking burns roughly 100 to 200 calories depending mostly on body weight and speed.

Does walking help with weight loss?

Walking can help weight loss when it is repeated consistently and combined with an appropriate calorie intake.

Is 10,000 steps enough for weight loss?

10,000 steps can support a calorie deficit, but weight loss still depends on total food intake, body size and consistency.
