Steps to Calories — How It Works
The MET Formula
Calories burned are calculated using the MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) formula. Walking at a moderate pace (~5 km/h) has a MET value of 3.5, meaning you burn 3.5× more energy than at rest.
Calories = MET × weight (kg) × 3.5 / 200 × time (minutes)
Weight Impact
A heavier person burns more calories per step. For example, at 10,000 steps: a 60 kg person burns ~280 kcal, while a 90 kg person burns ~420 kcal — a 50% difference.
Walking Speed Impact
Faster walking increases the MET value and calorie burn. Brisk walking (~6.5 km/h) has a MET of ~5.0, burning roughly 40% more calories than a leisurely pace.

Step Count Comparisons
10,000 Steps vs 15,000 Steps — What's the Difference?
Adding 5,000 extra steps burns significantly more calories and covers more distance. Here's a side-by-side comparison for an average person (70 kg / 154 lbs).
10,000 steps
- Distance: 7.4 km (4.6 mi)
- Calories: ~350 kcal
- Time: ~75 minutes
15,000 steps
- Distance: 11.1 km (6.9 mi)
- Calories: ~525 kcal
- Time: ~112 minutes
Conclusion: 15,000 steps burns roughly 50% more calories than 10,000 steps, but requires about 37 extra minutes of walking.
Walking vs Running — Calories Burned for the Same Distance
Running burns more calories per minute, but walking is easier to sustain for longer. Both are effective for weight management when done consistently.
Walking 5 km (3.1 mi)
- Speed: 5 km/h (3.1 mph)
- Time: ~60 min
- Calories (70 kg): ~245 kcal
- MET value: 3.5
Running 5 km (3.1 mi)
- Speed: 10 km/h (6.2 mph)
- Time: ~30 min
- Calories (70 kg): ~368 kcal
- MET value: 9.8
Conclusion: Running the same distance burns about 50% more calories, but takes half the time. Walking is gentler on joints and more sustainable for daily habits.
