📘 About the Walking Calories Calculator

Walking is the easiest exercise to fit into a day. A brisk 30-minute walk burns about 150 kcal for a 70 kg person, and uphill walking or climbing stairs can double that.

Enter the time (and distance if you know it). The calculator finds your speed, adds extra effort for slopes, stairs or carrying a load, and calculates calories with Compendium MET values.

🧮 Formula
