How Steps Convert to Calories

Calories burned from steps depend on several factors including body weight, walking speed, stride length, and overall intensity. This calculator uses average step-to-distance and energy expenditure models.

Steps to Distance Conversion

On average, 2,000 steps equal approximately 1 mile (1.6 km). Actual distance may vary depending on height and stride length.

Calories Burned Formula

This calculator estimates calories using a simplified walking model:

Calories ≈ Steps × Weight × Pace Factor

Why Tracking Steps Matters
