how many calories do you burn while walking a mile?

It depends on several factors. A 250 pound person is moving more weight that a 100 pound person and thus burns more calories.\n\nIf it is cool out and you are underdressed for the weather, you will burn more calories than if you are warmly dressed. The body burns calories to keep itself warm.\n\nIf the walk is uphill you burn more calories than if it is down hill.  Walking into the wind burns more calories that when the wind is at your back.

Yes. Here's a BMI Calc to get how many calories your burn just living\nhttp://www.jimmyr.com/lose_weight.php\n\nthen just use this table to approximate\nhttp://www.nutristrategy.com/activitylist4.htm\n\n\n\nThe next answer just copy and pasted the text of my site just 1 minute after I posted. The third answer has a URL also listed on my site.

General rule of thumb is that you burn approximately 100 calories per mile (regardless of speed/mode).  If you are in good shape, you burn a little less, as your body uses fuel more efficiently.  If you are really out of shape (doesn't sound like this applies to you), then a bit more.\nSince you say you jog 2-4 miles, I would say you burn between 200-400 cal.  Probably closer to 200-350, since you are conditioned, depending on exact distance covered.

Doug:  The key to weight loss is simply this:  A pound of fat is 3,500 calories.  You need approximately 2,000-2,500 calories/ day to maintain your weight.  If you run four miles a day, you are burning about 500 calories.  So, in order to lose weight, you must reduce your caloric intake to about 1,000/day.  You will then burn 2000 calories/day (so long as you do your 4 miles)..and the weight will burn off of you rather quickly.  Do not starve yourself.  After 72 hours of starvation, your metabolism will stop dead in its tracks..your body will think that you are starving and you won't burn anything.  Drink alot of water.  Beleive it or not, alot of your stomach size could be due to water retention.  Up your water intake to at least a gallon per day and your body will not store any water.  Since muscle is 70% water and fat is 20% water, you will know that you are burning fat rather than lean muscle if you are properly hydrated.  Good luck!

The brain makes up approx. 2% of human body mass, and uses approx. 20% of total energy consumption. So, if you burn 2000 calories/ day, your brain burns 400 calories on average. Studies have shown, though, that actively using the brain- ie. solving math problems, etc- increases the energy demand, and thus burns more calories.

The simplest (and oldest) exercise to lose weight is walking. I lost 110lbs in 4 months in 1994 by walking 15 miles per day.

First off, do you have a workout plan? The biggest misconception is that it has to be a strenuous workout.... If you're not doing anything now, then something as simple as walking will do the trick. I walk three to four times a week. I started off walking just two miles. Now I am up to five miles. You should also try to limit your caloric intake. Try to do something simple such as cutting out snacks. You wouldn't believe how many calories you can save by cutting out something that simple. Don't feel like you have to deprive yourself of everything. Remember.... you're working hard at losing this weight. You deserve a treat every now and then. Moderation is key! Good luck!

as a loose figure they say 1 pound of fat is equal to about 3300 calories.so run on a treadmill till it says you have burned enough calories to equal what u need.it will be alot more running then you think.

You will burn between 450 and 500 calories per 2 hour walk, depending on how fast you walk and if there are any hills. \n\nThat alone will take off about a pound of fat (3500 calories) per week. If you are losing more than that it is probably water you are losing.\n\nKeep hydrated - lots of water, you'll flush out any water your body is retaining too, and you'll look less bloated\n\nHow much more you lose will depend on how you reduce your meals. Reducing calories will help, try changing habits all together - eat 5 or 6 small, healthy meals per day, it will kick up your metabolism and you'll lose weight faster. \n\nGood Luck!

If that's your photo in your avatar, you look close to goal weight so your body doesn't burn as many calories during exercise.  \n\nA 200 lb person walking at a moderate pace will only burn 175 calories in 2 miles.  That's only losing 1 lb in 3 weeks.\n\nYou can eat "very healthy" and still be over on calories.  Review your choices and limit snacks, fast food and frozen convenience foods.  Don't eat extra because you're exercising.\n\nWater is a good beverage choice, but it doesn't "cause" weight loss.  Don't drink too much hoping that you'll lose more.

the only way to lose weight is by exerting more energy than you put in.  for instance,  you eat a can of tuna that has 60 calories per serving and each can has 2.5 servings.  that's 150 cal right you would have to run 1 mile to burn 150 calories. (apx)  There is now magic pill that will take it off only proper diet and training.  It doesn't even matter what you eat as long as its not sugar and fat.  You just have to do more than you eat.

going at a steady fast but not 'speedwalking pace' i do a mile in 15-20 minutes...up and down hill. i am short (5'5). if you have longer legs you may get there faster, haha, but 30 minutes should be about right...if you have never walked before, you may want and need to build up...everyone has different needs and abilities or limitations. best to try walking and slow down or stop if it seems to be to difficult...a little out of breath is good, a faster heartbeat is good, a little sweat is good...chest pains, gasping for breath, bad.

3500 Calories equal one pound.\nTo give you an idea on what it would take to burn that, you would have to run for 3 hours at 10 miles per hour.

there are 2.23 km in a mile and it takes about a half hour to walk a mile so about 15 minutes i would assume.\n\nYou can run a mile in 4-6 minutes.

i was just recently reading about this heres the conclusion:walking will burn off calories slowly, but its better than not walking, you will not loose weight but youll be keeping all weight from increasing

I have to disagree with the previous posts.\nIn 1/2 an hour, you'll burn around 300 + calories because an increase in temperature (112 - 116 degrees) over your normal body temp causes fat cells to liquify and excrete out with your sweat.  Your body burns calories just trying to keep your normal body temp!

To lose one pound, you have to burn 3,500 calories. Sound tough? Not if you break it down. To lose a pound a week, do an hour each day of any activity that burns an extra 500 calories.\n\nThe number of calories you'll burn during exercise is affected by your body weight, the intensity of your workout, your conditioning level, and metabolism, so burn rates are only an estimate. But here are ten activities that blast about 500 calories per hour, based on the weight of a 130-pound woman.\n    *\n\n      Rowing (vigorous effort): 502\n    *\n\n      Running 5.2 mph (11.5 minute mile): 531\n    *\n\n      Ice skating 9 mph: 531\n    *\n\n      Kickboxing: 590\n    *\n\n      Rock climbing (ascending): 649\n    *\n\n      Cross-country skiing (vigorous effort): 531\n    *\n\n      Swimming laps freestyle (vigorous effort): 590\n    *\n\n      Bicycling 14 - 15.9 mph (vigorous effort): 590\n    *\n\n      Walking up stairs: 472\n    *\n\n      Running up stairs: 885
