Walking Calories Estimator for Gentle Planning
A rough walking energy estimator for planning movement, not for strict food compensation.
Why this is only an estimate
Walking energy depends on terrain, pace, body size, fitness, stride, and measurement method. This tool uses broad MET-style assumptions, so the result should be treated as a planning estimate.
For habit building, the completion of the walk is often more useful than the exact calorie number.

FAQ
Should I eat back walking calories?
Do not treat this estimate as precise. Use a registered dietitian or clinician for individualized nutrition planning.
Is faster walking always better?
No. The best pace is one you can repeat safely and comfortably enough to stay consistent.
Does Thinner automatically track steps?
No. Thinner uses manual quests and check-ins rather than automatic sensor tracking.
