Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
A Step Calculator is a tool that estimates the total distance you have walked and the approximate number of calories burned based on the number of steps you've taken, your weight, and your average step length. It uses the basic formula: Distance = Number of Steps × Step Length. The calorie estimation is based on the distance walked and your body weight, as a heavier person generally burns more calories covering the same distance.
The accuracy of this calculator depends on the accuracy of the information you provide, especially your average step length. Using your personal measured step length will yield the most accurate results. If you use the default value, the results are still a good estimate for the average person. For calorie burn, it's an estimation based on averages; actual calorie expenditure can vary based on factors like walking speed, terrain, and individual metabolism.
The average step length varies based on height and gender. Here are some general estimates:
- Men: Average around 0.79 meters (2.6 feet).
- Women: Average around 0.66 meters (2.2 feet).
There isn't a fixed number of calories burned per step as it depends on various factors, including your weight and step length (which influences the distance covered). Our calculator estimates the total calories burned based on the total distance walked, which is a more accurate approach than a per-step calculation.
While you can enter your steps taken during a run, the calorie estimation might be less accurate as running typically burns more calories per unit of distance compared to walking. For a more accurate estimation of calories burned during running, consider using a dedicated running calculator.
