Calculate Calories Burned from Your Steps
Find out exactly how many calories you burn with your daily steps. Our calculator uses MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) values to provide accurate calorie estimates based on your weight, activity type, and pace. Whether you're walking to work or training for a marathon, track your energy expenditure.
How Steps to Calories Calculation Works
The calories burned from steps depends on your body weight, activity intensity (MET value), and duration. Walking has a MET of 2.5-5.0 depending on pace, while running ranges from 6.0-12.5. Heavier individuals burn more calories for the same activity due to greater energy expenditure required to move their body mass.
