Frequently Asked Questions
How many calories does walking 1 mile burn?
A 155-lb person burns about 80-100 calories per mile at a moderate pace. Heavier people burn more, lighter people burn less. Speed has a modest effect — faster walking increases calorie burn slightly.
Is walking good for weight loss?
Yes. Walking is low-impact, sustainable, and burns meaningful calories over time. Walking 30 minutes daily at a brisk pace can burn 150-200 calories. Combined with a slight calorie deficit, this leads to steady weight loss.
What is a MET value?
MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) measures exercise intensity. Sitting = 1 MET. Slow walking = 2.0 MET. Brisk walking = 3.5 MET. Running = 7-12 MET. Higher MET means more calories burned per unit of time.
