StepKcal is a web-based calorie calculator that generates a personalized weight-loss plan based on your daily step count, body metrics, and walking pace.
What is StepKcal?
StepKcal.com is a web tool that takes your age, gender, height, current weight, desired weight, average daily steps, and walking pace, then produces a detailed report including your BMI, recommended daily calorie intake (using the Mifflin-St Jeor formula), macronutrient breakdown, and a weekly weight projection until you reach your goal. The platform runs entirely in the browser and is created by an independent developer (no company name stated on the page).
Key Features
- Personalized Calorie Targets — Calculates maintenance calories and deficit calories for two paces: lose 0.5 kg/week (recommended for overweight BMI) or 0.7 kg/week. Uses your BMR, calories burned from steps (based on step count and walking pace), and non-step daily activity (NEAT).
- Macronutrient Split — Suggests a daily split of 30% protein, 40% carbohydrates, and 30% fats for each calorie target, with gram amounts shown.
- Weekly Weight Progress Table — Projects body weight each week (at weeks 0, 2, 4, 8, 14) for all three calorie scenarios until your goal weight is reached.
- BMI Assessment — Displays your current BMI on a color-coded bar (underweight, healthy, overweight, obese) and tells how many kg to lose to reach the healthy zone.
- Step-Aware Calculation — Adjusts calorie burn based on step count and four walking pace options (slow 2 km/h, moderate 4 km/h, brisk 5 km/h, fast 6 km/h).
- Metric or US Units — Supports both metric (cm, kg) and US (feet/inches, pounds) input for height and weight.
Who is it for?
- People aiming to lose weight who want a calorie plan that factors in their daily walking or step count from a fitness tracker or phone.
- Fitness tracker users who already know their average daily steps and need a recommended calorie intake to create a safe deficit.
- Individuals with an overweight BMI who want a moderate, sustainable weight-loss pace (0.5 kg/week) and a clear weekly progress projection.

FAQ
Is StepKcal free?
No, it costs $1.99 for a one-time personalized report. There is a limited-time discount from $2.99 to $1.99.
How is my calorie target calculated?
The tool uses the Mifflin-St Jeor formula for basal metabolic rate (BMR), adds calories burned from your daily steps (based on step count and walking pace), plus non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT), to estimate total daily energy expenditure (TDEE). A deficit of 550 kcal/day (for 0.5 kg/week loss) or 770 kcal/day (for 0.7 kg/week loss) is subtracted from TDEE.
What walking pace options are available?
You can choose from Slow (2 km/h), Moderate (4 km/h), Brisk (5 km/h), or Fast (6 km/h). The pace affects how many calories are estimated for your step count.
