Calculating calorie with the help of pedometer

[anoop4real]

Hi,
I feel I am posting in the right section, I was trying to calculate the calories burned with the help of number of steps walked, but not sure which formula I should use.
I have a predefined stride length
so distance traveled will be (no of steps x stride length) and I know my weight, with the help of these two whether I will be able to calculate calories burned??

I saw a different range of formulas

calorie=wt(lbs)xdistance(miles)

calorie=wt(lbs)xdistance(miles)x(.53)

calorie=wt(lbs)xdistance(miles)x(.029) etc

but which one is true, can anyone tell me the right formula to be used to calculate the calories burned.

thanks

I would recommend using the formula that takes into account your weight and the distance traveled, as this will provide the most accurate estimate of calories burned. The other formulas may not take into account factors such as incline or speed, which can also affect the number of calories burned. Additionally, it is important to keep in mind that any calculation of calories burned is just an estimate and may not be completely accurate. Factors such as individual metabolism and body composition can also play a role in the actual number of calories burned. It may be helpful to consult with a fitness professional or use a more advanced tracking device to get a more accurate estimate of your calorie burn.
