How we compute this
Uses the approximation of about 0.04 kcal burned per step at a moderate walking pace — a population-average estimate, not personalised to your body weight, stride length or pace. A wearable that reads your heart rate and stride will always be more accurate than this rule of thumb; treat this as a quick planning number.
