    FAQ

    3,000 steps is how many calories?

    3,000 steps burn about 122 kcal

    How is the calorie figure worked out?

    Calories = MET × body weight in kg × hours of walking. 3,000 × 0.78 m = 2.34 km; 2.34 km ÷ 5.1 km/h ≈ 0.46 h; moderate walking on flat ground is 3.8 MET (Adult Compendium of Physical Activities, 2024, code 17190), so 3.8 MET × 70 kg × 0.46 h ≈ 122 kcal. It is an estimate for an adult, not a measurement.

    Why does my fitness tracker show fewer calories?

    Many trackers report active calories — energy above what the body burns at rest anyway. Subtracting the resting 1 MET leaves 2.8 MET × 70 kg × 0.46 h ≈ 90 kcal for the same walk.

    How much does body weight change it?

    In proportion: the same 3,000 steps come to about 87 kcal at 50 kg and 174 kcal at 100 kg. Incline, stairs, a heavy bag or running raise the figure; this page does not cover them.
