Exercise Energy Chart – Kilojoules:

As an example, an 80 kg man walking 1 kilometre in 8 minutes will burn 76 calories. That’s a cookie you’ve burned off right there.

Put simply, someone weighing 70 kilograms would use about 1840 kilojoules while covering their 10,000 daily steps. To lose weight, you need to use up about 2510 more kilojoules than you consume every day.

The pace most often recommended is a brisk pace which translates to about 90-110 steps per minute or 4-5 km/hour. Slow down if you find it difficult to breathe easily; it is better to walk a little too slow than too fast.

As a very approximate number, we burn around 50 calories an hour1 while we sleep. However, every person burns a different amount of calories during sleep, depending on their personal basal metabolic rate2 (BMR).

How many calories are burned walking? Formula. Calories burned per minute = (MET x body weight in Kg x 3.5) ÷ 200 “MET” is a measurement of the energy cost of physical activity for a period of time. You can find an activity’s MET on the chart above.

Kilojoules to 15°C calories. 1 cal15 = 0.0041855 kJ. 1 kJ = 238.9201 cal15. The energy in 15°C calories E(cal15) is equal to the energy in kilojoules E(kJ) times 238.9201:

Averagely, we can say that walking 10,000 steps when being an average man (meaning weighting ~75kg or 165lb) burns around 500 calories. If you’re a petite woman (~50kg), the value oscillates around 290kcal.

Summary. A kilojoule (or Calorie ) is a unit of energy. In Australia, we use kilojoules ( kJ ) to measure how much energy people get from consuming a food or drink. The kilojoule content of foods depends on the amount of carbohydrates, fats and proteins present in the food, and the portion size.
