Steps to Calories/Distance Calculator

Stride length is estimated from your height and gender (women tend to have a slightly shorter stride at the same height), which converts your step count into distance walked. Calories are then estimated from that distance and your body weight, since heavier bodies burn more energy covering the same ground.

Active time assumes a typical walking pace of around 100 steps per minute — brisker or slower walking will change your real time, but the distance and calorie estimates stay accurate regardless of pace.
