    You can enter the time and exercise on MFP. I added your info and came up with 245 calories at a brisk (3.5mph) pace. Keep up the good work!

    It's different because it's dependent on SO MANY factors

    1. Age
    2. Weight
    3. How fast you're walking
    4. What your beats per minute is while you're walking.

    The calories is so drastically different for each person. For example, me walking 2.7 mph for one hour and five minutes burns 554 calories based on my current weight, beats per minute, etc. for example, the person who posted before me burn 245 calories for almost the same duration and she walks faster...which is a big difference than my calories burnt.

    If you truly wanna know how many calories you burn, strap a heart monitor band around your chest. It's not 100% accurate but it's pretty dang close.

    Couple calcs look like a 35 yr old female at 145 pounds (assuming 5'4 height) would burn 65-80 calories per mile depending on pace.
