Estimate
—
Enter steps to see an estimate.
The formula uses a 3.5 MET moderate walk and 100 steps a minute. Six thousand steps at 70 kg is about 245 kcal.
Terrain, gait, and true pace move that number. Treat it as a scale check, not a watch or lab reading.
WHO and CDC use about 150 minutes of moderate activity a week as the adult frame. The kcal here is not medical advice.
