Calories Burned Walking
Walking calorie burn depends on weight, duration, and pace. We use MET (metabolic equivalent) values: MET × weight(kg) × hours gives approximate calories. Faster pace = higher MET. A 3 mph walk is about 3.5 MET; 4 mph is ~5 MET.
Heavier people burn more per minute. Hills and terrain add 20–50%. This is an estimate—actual burn varies with fitness and conditions. Use it to plan activity and track progress.
