Based on an average stride length of 2.5 feet, body weight of 180 pounds, and a walking speed of 4 mph, 76 steps would burn approximately 4 calories.
Because calories burned is related to the time and intensity of your activity as well as your own physical characteristics, the amount above is just based on averages. In the chart below, you can get a better idea of how many calories you burned at a particular walking speed and body weight. Please keep in mind these are estimates as well; calculating calories burned is based on good scientific research but is an inexact science.
You may notice that sometimes walking at a slower pace burns more calories than walking at a faster pace. This isn't a mistake. Instead, it shows that you may burn slightly more calories by walking slower for longer instead of walking faster for less time.

The estimates on this page come from MET, or metabolic equivalent, research. Put simply, one MET is defined as 1 kcal/kg/hour and is roughly equivalent to the energy cost of sitting quietly. Every activity has a MET associated with it based on the available research. In the example used at the top of this page, walking 4 MPH has a MET of 5.
To come up with an estimate of how many calories are burned walking a particular number of steps, you would use the following formula:
number of steps x step length / 5,280 / MPH x MET x weight in kg
In all of our examples, we rounded to the nearest whole calorie.
| ← Prev step num | Next step num → |
