On average, 1 mile = 2,000 steps = 80-100 calories for a 70kg person. Walking 10,000 steps burns approximately 400-500 calories. Calorie burn per step depends on your weight, walking speed, and terrain. Heavier people burn more per step. Running burns about 2x more calories per step than walking.

🤔 How Does This Work?
Calories = Steps x Weight(kg) x Calorie factor (varies by pace)
Factor ranges from 0.04 (slow walk) to 0.10 (run) per step per kg

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How many steps should I walk per day?▼
The commonly cited 10,000 step target was originally a 1965 Japanese marketing campaign, not a medical recommendation. Research suggests 7,000-8,000 steps per day is associated with significant health benefits. More steps are better up to about 12,000-15,000 where returns diminish. Any increase from your baseline improves health.
Does step counting alone help with weight loss?▼
Walking contributes to weight loss when it creates a calorie deficit combined with diet. 10,000 steps burns approximately 400-500 calories — equivalent to one meal. Walking alone rarely creates enough deficit for rapid weight loss without dietary changes. However, it is excellent for maintaining weight, improving cardiovascular health, and mood.
