How many calories burned walking 4 miles a day?

There does seem to be a cost/benefit ratio to exercise. Meaning that a moderate pace will give decent results in calories burned but a much faster pace will require a great deal more effort for a nominal increase in calories burned. The way to maximize this is to exercise for the same amount of time. At a faster pace you cover more distance but also more calories. I think as a beginner it's ok to be happy with a decent pace and a decent calorie burn. When you get more fit you can decide if a faster pace is really worth the effort.

I recommend the "map my run" ap. it's free. You can change "run" to walk, hike, cycle, etc. it will map your route while also showing distance, speed, and calories burned.

You might want to track calories on an app like myfitnesspal.com or fitday.com

For me, walking 4 miles would probably be around 250-300 calories.
