How steps become calories
Walking burns roughly 0.04 calories per step for a 70 kg (154 lb) person, and the cost scales with body weight — heavier walkers burn more per step because they're moving more mass. This calculator applies that weight adjustment to your step count, so 10,000 steps is worth about 400 calories at 70 kg but closer to 470 at 180 lb. Pace and hills nudge the number up or down a little, but step count times body weight captures most of the picture. It's an estimate for planning, not a medical measurement.
