Calories burned with backpack?

Options
I walk around campus all day with a HUGE backpack which adds a lot of weight to my body. Do you think that I burn more calories while walking because I am wearing such a heavy backpack or is it the same? Thanks in advance! :)

    You do burn more calories. Wear a heart rate monitor and track when you walk.
