Calorie Counter

This calorie counter gives a guide to the number of calories you will burn based on your weight, travel speed and distance. Change your profile and the trail distance to gauge how small adjustments can affect the number of calories you can burn.

Statistics

Calculations are based on your weight of 70 kgs, a walking speed of "Typical speed - 3 mph", a cycling speed of "Leisure cycling - 8 mph" and a trail distance of 37.5 miles.

Walking

After walking 37.5 miles you will have burnt 3061 calories. Assuming a constant pace and no breaks it will take you 12 hours 30 minutes to cover the distance and you will have taken roughly 86250 steps.

More calories per mile are burnt at very low speeds as you do not have momentum to carry you between strides. Walking at high speeds will burn more calories too as arm swinging and the longer stride use more muscle groups. Those extra muscles burn up extra calories with each step. Carrying a rucksack and walking uphill will also increase your calorie burn.

Rewards

Burning 3061 calories means you will be able to consume:

    28.9 Tunnock's Teacakes or
    36 Jammie Dodgers or
    12.1 jam donuts or
    25.3 packets of Pork Scratchings (20g) or
    16.8 pints of ale or
    34.4 glasses of wine (120ml)

without feeling any guilt whatsoever.

Cycling

After 37.5 miles of cycling you will have burnt 1559 calories. The trip will take 4 hours 41 minutes to complete assuming no breaks are taken.

Rewards

Burning 1559 calories means you will be able to consume:

    4.4 plates of beans on toast (1/2 tin, 2 sl. white bread) or
    2.6 portions of Fish and Chips or
    3.7 Pukka Pies or
    2.8 Ginsters Cornish Pasties or
    111.4 cups of tea with milk or

extra that day without fear of splitting your trousers!
