Then, how many calories do you burn walking a kilometer?
It can vary from as low as 12 calories for a stroll to as high as 30 calories for walking at about 8-9 kmph. 8-9 kmph is nearly as fast as running. When you say calories burnt, it is not necessarily fat burning which causes weight loss.
Additionally, how many calories burned walking 6 km? 6km = one hour's average walking for me (I am tall so this wouldn't make me pant) ………….. so between 300 and 400 calories. As a rule of thumb we burn, on average, between 3 calories and 5 calories per hour, for every kilogram of weight. Carrying more weight (a pack etc) adds to the measured weight.
