Frequently asked questions
How are calories burned calculated?
Calories per minute = MET × 3.5 × body weight (kg) ÷ 200. MET is how hard an activity is compared with sitting still (1 MET). For a 70 kg person, 30 minutes of brisk walking (4.3 MET) burns about 158 kcal.
Is this the same as my fitness watch?
Watches use heart rate and movement, so their numbers differ. MET values are averages for adults and can be 10–20% off for an individual, depending on fitness, technique and terrain.
Gross or net calories?
The figure is gross — it includes the calories you would have burned resting anyway. Net calories (the extra from exercise) are also shown, using MET − 1.
How many calories does walking burn?
Brisk walking at about 5.6 km/h burns roughly 5 kcal a minute for a 70 kg person — about 158 kcal in 30 minutes. Heavier people burn more.
How many calories does 10,000 steps burn?
About 300–450 kcal for most adults, depending on weight and walking speed; 10,000 steps take roughly 80–100 minutes.
