FAQ

7,500 steps is how many calories?

7,500 steps burn about 305 kcal

How is the calorie figure worked out?

Calories = MET × body weight in kg × hours of walking. 7,500 × 0.78 m = 5.85 km; 5.85 km ÷ 5.1 km/h ≈ 1.147 h; moderate walking on flat ground is 3.8 MET (Adult Compendium of Physical Activities, 2024, code 17190), so 3.8 MET × 70 kg × 1.147 h ≈ 305 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 × 1.147 h ≈ 225 kcal for the same walk.

How much does body weight change it?

In proportion: the same 7,500 steps come to about 218 kcal at 50 kg and 436 kcal at 100 kg. Incline, stairs, a heavy bag or running raise the figure; this page does not cover them.
