Question 1

How many calories does 10,000 steps burn?

Accepted Answer

On average, 10,000 steps burns 400-500 calories depending on your weight, pace, and terrain. A 70kg person walking briskly burns about 450 calories per 10,000 steps.

Question 2

How are steps converted to calories?

Accepted Answer

We calculate calories using: (steps ÷ steps per mile) × MET value × weight × duration factor. Walking speed affects the MET (Metabolic Equivalent) value, giving a more accurate estimate.

Question 3

Does walking speed affect calories burned?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Walking at 4 mph burns roughly 50% more calories per step than walking at 2 mph, because the MET value increases significantly with pace.
