About walking calories
Calories burned walking depend on your body weight, pace and time, estimated with MET values.
- MET (metabolic equivalent) values: slow 2.8, moderate 3.5, brisk 5.0, very fast 6.3.
- Heavier body weight and faster pace burn more calories for the same time.
- Estimates are approximate; wearable trackers add heart-rate data for a closer figure.
