Steps to energy
Walking burns roughly 0.5 kcal per kilogram of body weight per 1,000 steps — about 35 kcal per 1,000 steps at 70 kg, or 350 kcal for the classic 10,000. Pace matters less than people hope; body weight and step count dominate the equation.
Why it still counts
Step calories look small beside workouts, but they run all day: 10,000 daily steps is ~2,400 kcal weekly — a pound of fat monthly, all else equal. This non-exercise activity is the biggest energy-burn difference between active and sedentary people.
