    Steps to Calories Converter

    Steps to Calories Converter

    When calculating your calories burned per step, the number will depend on your weight and height. For instance, a typical 160-pound person of average height will burn about 40 calories per 1,000 steps. This is the equivalent of 0.04 calories per step. The following charts display you how many calories you’d burn in 1,000 steps, 5,000 steps, 10,000 steps, or more. Here is what you need to know about converting your steps to calories burned.

    Convert Your Steps to Calories

    To convert your steps to calories burned, you will need to know your approximate steps per mile. Most fitness trackers estimate your steps per mile from your height. An average number at a brisk walk or easy running pace is 2,000 to 2,400 steps per mile. Steps to Calories Converter

    You also can measure your stride length to find your steps per mile or count your steps over a measured mile for greater accuracy. Alternatively, you can use a steps-per-mile chart, along with your height and weight, to estimate calories burned at various step counts. The calorie numbers are based on metabolic equivalents (MET) research, taking an average of the calories burned at walking speeds from 2 to 4 miles per hour.1

    These are a few charts that are based on height and weight. These will give you an approximate number of calories burned per step. Steps to Calories Converter

    How Many Calories is 10,000 Steps Per Day?

    How many calories you use while walking 10,000 steps a day will vary widely based on factors such as body size, age, genetics, pace (brisk or slow), and terrain (steep hills or mostly flat ground). See the charts below to get general estimates based on height and weight.

    Height 6 Feet and Above

    For an estimate of calories, use the chart below burned by step count if your height is 6 feet or more. This assumes that you take 2,000 steps per mile.  Steps to Calories Converter

    If you are looking to increase calories burned when strolling, you can try speeding up, doing running intervals, and using fitness walking poles. Most fitness trackers don’t accurately track activities that aren’t step-based, so they may not be included into your overall steps. You can calculate step equivalents for other activities based on the calories burned.
