A moderate 30-minute walk may burn roughly 90–180 calories for many adults. A gentle stroll can be lower, while a brisk uphill walk can be higher. Treat any number as an estimate rather than an exact measurement.
Speed and incline matter
Increasing pace or walking uphill raises the effort required. If you compare a meal with walking time, select an intensity that resembles how you normally move instead of choosing the highest setting.
Use walking as understandable context
Bite2Burn turns estimated meal calories into walking time so a number such as 420 kcal becomes easier to picture. It also compares running, cycling, swimming and hiking without suggesting that food must be earned or punished.
