I walked 3 miles today, but it took me around an hour at a slow page. It was really hot. I weigh 278. Any one know how many calories I burned approx?

    No idea but if it took you an hour, you walked about 3mph and there's a setting in walking under cardio you can plug in.

    In some other thread another member said that her running coach said in general 1 mile equals 100 calories.

    Now this will go up/down based on your fitness. At the time of that post, I was 204 lbs and I'd just started 2 miles (this was last week btw), I burnt 280 calories (wearing my HRM) for 44 minutes, on that 2 mile walk. Split that in half and you've got 140 calories per mile. That being said, I've burn more than that on some days. My highest so far has been 350 calories for 2 miles with about the same timing, so that's 175 calories per mile.

    Without a HRM you won't truly know how much you burn.
