    Do you know how many miles you walk in those minutes? If you figure that out there is info in the MFP data base on walking. I'm a walker. I walk 4-5 miles a day. I walked 3 miles this morning in 49 minutes and burned 637 calories. I have a heart rate monitor so I know tht's correct. Cindy :heart:

    Plug it into your exercise log - they have different paces of walking. Should be pretty accurate!

    I use the MFP database for my walking and at 4MPH it says i burn around 200 calories for 3 miles. But with that said, i'm at my goal weight, so might be burning at a slower pace.

    i found the database
    Acording to that, 3.5mph, uphill is about 126cals for 12minutes (that's about how long i walk from home to work)
    i do that 4 times a day, so i would say that 400cals are burned in that process :D

    I walked 6.5 miles today, the downhill portion was 3 miles I burned ~200, the uphill segment was 3.5 miles and 450calories. I wear a HRM, but MFP's estimate for 2 hours at 3.5 mph was 676cals--almost the same.
