How calories from walking are estimated

This calculator uses a widely cited approximation that walking burns roughly 0.0005 kcal per step for every kilogram of body weight, so Calories per Day = Extra Steps x Weight (kg) x 0.0005. It compares your target daily steps to your current baseline to estimate the additional calories the extra walking burns.

Converting calories to weight loss

Using the commonly cited estimate that about 7,700 kcal roughly corresponds to one kilogram (about 3,500 kcal per pound) of body fat, the calculator multiplies your daily extra calories by 7 days and the number of weeks, then divides by 7,700 to estimate total weight loss.

This is a simplified estimate for general motivation and planning only. Actual weight change depends on total diet, muscle gain, water retention, and individual metabolism, and this tool is not a substitute for guidance from a healthcare provider.
