Calculadora de Caminhada - Calorias

The Walking Calorie Calculator estimates the number of calories burned during a walk. It uses a MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) value of approximately 3.5, which represents the typical energy expenditure of walking at a moderate pace. The formula applied is: calories = MET × weight (kg) × time (hours). The result is a useful approximation for those who want to monitor caloric expenditure from this activity.

The calculation is simple: enter your weight in kilograms and walking time in hours. The calculator multiplies these values by the MET of 3.5, providing an estimate of calories burned. For example, a 70 kg person walking for 1 hour burns about 245 calories (3.5 × 70 × 1). Remember that MET can vary with intensity and terrain, but 3.5 is a reliable average for walking at a normal pace.

Use this calculator to plan workouts, manage weight, or compare caloric expenditure of different activities. It is ideal for beginners in physical activity, people aiming for weight loss, or athletes looking to complement their training. Walking is a low-impact, accessible, and safe exercise for most people.

Cautions: the estimate is based on average values and may not reflect your actual expenditure, which depends on factors such as metabolism, body composition, and environmental conditions. For greater accuracy, consider using a heart rate monitor. Also, do not replace professional guidance; consult a doctor before starting any exercise program.
