0 Votes I don't think you will be able to get an exact answer to your question because the number of calories you burn depends on so many variables, such as intensity, distance/duration, etc. but the good news is you do not really need to know this if you are trying to lose weight:) your daily caloric needs are approx 1386 calories per day, so just eat 200-500 fewer calories than that and keep doing your walk and you will start to lose weight. be sure to walk for at least 45min to 1hr anything less and you are really not burning that many fat calories. by Andrew ... 1 year ago
