Walking Calorie Burn Calculator (Singapore)
Walking is one of the most effective and sustainable physical activities for long-term health and weight loss. Use our walking calorie burn calculator to calculate how many calories you burn based on your body weight, duration, and walking pace.
How Walking Calories Are Calculated
Exercise scientists measure physical activity intensity in **Metabolic Equivalents (METs)**. One MET represents the rate at which your body expends energy while resting. Walking at a moderate speed of 3.0 mph has a MET value of 3.5. This means you burn 3.5 times more energy than sitting still.
The clinical formula to determine calorie burn is:
Step and Deficit Strategy
Integrating walking with a dietary deficit is the most sustainable approach to fat loss. For instance, walking 10,000 steps covers roughly 4-5 miles, burning between 300 to 500 calories depending on your body weight. Combining this active expenditure with a moderate deficit established using our calorie deficit calculator can double your fat loss speed.
