FAQ
How is calorie burn estimated from steps?
Using the MET (metabolic equivalent) formula: calories = MET × weight (kg) × time (hours), where MET varies by walking pace and time is derived from your step count, stride length, and speed.
Why does walking pace matter?
Faster walking has a higher MET value, meaning you burn more calories per minute - though a fast walk also covers a given distance in less time, so the effect on total calories per step is smaller than it might seem.
Why do I need to enter my body weight?
Calorie burn scales directly with body weight in the MET formula - a heavier person burns more calories doing the same activity than a lighter person.
How accurate is this compared to a fitness tracker?
Fitness trackers use your actual stride length, heart rate, and movement patterns for a more personalized estimate. This tool uses average values, so treat it as a ballpark figure.
