Walking Calorie Calculator
Estimate calories burned walking based on distance and body weight.
The Walking Calorie Calculator estimates energy expenditure during walking using the factor of 0.708 kcal per kg per km. Walking is less energy-intensive than running because the body moves more efficiently at walking speeds.
Enter the distance walked in kilometers and your body weight. Walking burns approximately 68% as many calories as running the same distance. A 70kg person burns about 50 calories per kilometer walked.
Walking is an excellent low-impact exercise suitable for all fitness levels. Regular walking of 10,000 steps (about 7-8 km) burns approximately 350-500 calories depending on body weight.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many calories does 10,000 steps burn?
Approximately 350-500 calories depending on body weight and stride length. 10,000 steps is roughly 7-8 km.
Does walking speed affect calorie burn?
Walking at moderate pace (5 km/h) vs brisk pace (6.5 km/h) burns slightly more per km at faster speeds due to increased arm movement and effort.
Is walking good for weight loss?
Yes. Walking burns calories consistently and is sustainable long-term. A daily 5K walk can burn 250-350 extra calories per day.
