I walked a mile today at moderate pace for about 20-25 minutes. Any idea of how many calories I burned? I left my iPod at the house:/

    that would be walking 3.0-3.5
    find a close one to these in the exercise log.

    It depends on so many things as to what you burned. Like 100 calories?

    You can get a pretty good estimate from the Exercise entires available here at MFP. Just search "walking" and choose a pace, probably 3.0 (walking the dog)- it says something like that, and enter how many minutes you walked and it will tell you calories burned. :smile:

    Enter walking under 3.0 speed for amount of time walked and it will give you the calories burned.

    MFP use to tell me that I burn around 109 Calories, when walking the Dog at 3 Miles / Hour for 20 Minutes.. (equals 1 Mile)
    But its just a guesstimate.. :)

    Log it under walking mod pace for the amount of time you walked. I usually burn about 100 calories when walking at that pace for half an hour.

    You burn roughly 100 cals per mile no matter what speed you are going.

    Use the calculator here on MFP, but it's probably high. In my experience, it's about a 1/3 high. If it says 250, figure 167.

    Get a heart rate monitor with a chest strap for the whole story. Everything else is just a guess.

    This is a very helpful rule of thumb that I use too.

    type in "walking" and look for "moderate pace, dog walking" or "3.0 mph" then put in the amount of time and it will tell you!

    Yep - its going to be around 100 cals. I'm 173 and burn roughly 100 cals a mile when I run so unless you're significantly heavier or lighter, it should be much the same. As they said above, it doesn't really matter what speed you're going - you'll burn off about 100 cals per mile unless you're very light or heavy.
