26 years old, 12lb over weight. Walked 5 miles today anyone know how many cals this would burn? Thanks..

this is what Google came up with

I think if you put it on my fitness pal it will tell you. I don’t how it’s worked out

As an example my friend did an 11km run yesterday in just under an hour. Her tracker said she burned 560cals

Whether you walk or run, a good rule of thumb is 100 calories per mile.
If you're especially overweight or the terrain is difficult, you can add a few more.

Download Pacer on your phone you need to be holding your phone but it counts the steps and calories. I bought a Fitbit and this is amazing! Has an app which tells me exactly how much calories I've burned (it measures your pulse so I think that's how it works it out) and how much I can eat that day. I try and stay under 1300.
