Steps to Calories
Estimate how many calories you burn from walking a number of steps.
Estimating energy from steps
Estimating calories from step counts is a useful way to translate daily activity into energy expenditure. Exact energy burned depends on speed, incline, body weight and metabolic differences. This tool uses a simple step-based approximation combined with your weight to give a practical estimate you can use for planning or tracking.
If you want more precise results, combine steps with walking pace and duration or use wearable-derived calorie estimates that incorporate heart rate and motion data. Still, step-based estimates are easy to compute and provide consistent feedback for behaviour change and goal setting.
Tips for tracking
Use a consistent stride length when converting steps to distance, and keep weight input up to date for better calorie estimates. Track trends over time rather than focusing on single-day estimates to understand the impact of activity on energy balance.
