Can someone remind me of the formula for working out walking calories? Body weight X something X something.

That .53 might be more in the ballpark. Runner's World did update the formula from what I remember.
All I know is that my Fitbit has proven to be accurate over time and the burn I get from it is greater than what that old Runner's World Formula would give me.2
