How it works
We estimate average speed from distance and time, then use the ACSM level walking equation. With steps, distance is estimated first: steps × length of one step. Example: 2.5 km in 30 minutes at 70 kg gives about 124 total kcal and 88 active kcal.
Walking model applies at 1.9–3.7 mph (about 3.06–5.95 km/h). For hills or different speeds, use the activity calculator’s closest category. Individual energy use varies.
