How many calories do you burn if you walk 2 miles?

A 180-pound person burns about 200 calories when walking 2 miles. A 120-pound person burns approximately 130 calories walking the same distance. The number of calories burned by walking depends primarily on the weight of the walker, according to About Health.

The speed of the walker also affects the amount of calories burned, About Health explains. A 180-pound person walking 2 mph burns about 204 calories, while the same person burns about 262 calories when walking 5 mph. A 120-pound individual burns fewer calories at any speed because he weighs less. For instance, a 120-pound person walking 5 mph for 2 miles burns about 176 calories.
