Estimate calories burned while jogging from distance and body weight, or use time, average pace, and weight to find distance-based calories.
Jogging Calorie Formula
Variables:
- C = calories burned
- D = distance jogged (miles)
- BW = body weight (lbs)
If you use the advanced tab, distance is found with time divided by pace.
How to Calculate Jogging Calories
- Enter your distance jogged in miles and your body weight in pounds.
- Multiply distance by body weight.
- Multiply that result by 0.73.
- If you use the advanced tab, enter time and pace first to convert them into distance.
Calories Burned Per Mile of Jogging
| Body Weight (lbs) | Calories Burned per Mile |
|---|---|
| 120 | 87.6 |
| 150 | 109.5 |
| 180 | 131.4 |
| 200 | 146.0 |
| 220 | 160.6 |
Example Calculation
For a 160 lb person jogging 3 miles:
That jog burns 350.4 calories.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many calories does jogging burn per mile?
Multiply your body weight by 0.73. A 150 lb person burns 109.5 calories per mile, while a 180 lb person burns 131.4 calories per mile.
Does pace change the calorie result?
Pace is used in the advanced tab to convert time into distance. Over the same mileage, calorie burn stays close, while a faster pace mainly changes how long the jog takes.
How many calories does a 30 minute jog burn?
It depends on pace and body weight. At a 12 minute mile pace, 30 minutes equals 2.5 miles. A 160 lb person would burn 292.0 calories.
What is a common jogging pace?
Many joggers fall between 10 and 15 minutes per mile, which is about 4 to 6 miles per hour.
