Steps to Calories Burned Calculator

This calculator provides an estimate of calories burned from walking based on several factors.

1. Stride Length: We first estimate your stride length based on your height and gender. This helps convert your step count into a total distance walked.

2. Distance: Total distance is calculated by multiplying your step count by your estimated stride length.

3. MET Value: A MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) value represents the energy cost of an activity. For walking at a moderate pace (around 3 mph or 5 km/h), the MET value is approximately 3.5.

4. Calorie Calculation: The final calculation uses a standard formula that combines your body weight, the MET value of walking, and the total distance covered to estimate the total calories burned.
