About this tool

Calories from walking scale with distance and body mass: distance = steps × stride length (estimated from height as ~0.415×height for women, 0.415×height for men average 0.413), then energy ≈ 0.5 kcal per kg per km at a moderate pace, adjusted upward for brisk pace using standard MET values (2.8 stroll, 3.5 moderate, 4.3 brisk, 5.0 very brisk). This is the same method fitness researchers use for population estimates — accurate enough for planning, not for clinical use.
