Calories Burned Walking Calculator
Estimate walking energy use from weight, distance and walking speed.
—
Formula
Calories equal MET value × weight in kilograms × hours, with MET chosen by walking speed.
How it works
Speed picks a MET band for walking effort, time comes from distance divided by speed, and the three multiply together. Hills, load carried and terrain raise real burn above this flat-ground figure.
FAQs
What is a MET?
One MET is resting energy use; walking at 5 km/h is about 3.5 times that.
Does faster walking burn much more?
Yes per minute, but a fixed distance at higher speed takes less time, so totals are closer.
Is this exact?
No. It is a standard estimate, not a measurement.
