About
10,000 steps doesn't burn the same calories for everyone. A 250 lb person burns roughly twice what a 125 lb person does for the same step count. This calculator uses your weight and pace.
How to use

- Pick the pace (slow walk, brisk walk, jog).

FAQ
Why does pace matter?+
A slow stroll burns 0.03 cal per step at 150 lb. A brisk walk burns 0.04. Running, 0.06+. The same step count can mean a 50% different burn.
Are these net or gross calories?+
Gross. Subtract about 1 cal per minute for resting metabolism if you want net burn, but most fitness trackers report gross.
