Calories per step

Mr_Knight

So I decided to calibrate myself. All numbers approximate.

Distance: 13km
Steps: 16,000
Net Calorie Burn: ~525

-> 16,000/525 -> 30 steps/calorie, or 0.033 calories/step

Validating this the other way....

30 steps -> 24m, 1 mile -> 1850 steps/mile -> ~60 calories/mile

Close enough.

This was hiking with a heavy, heavy pack. Total traveling weight: 250 pounds. So if you're 125 pounds, divide in half. If you're 200 pounds, multiply by 0.75.

Have fun!
