Well based on my calorie counters and various tools. I only burn about 7 cal a min walking....and thats moving a pretty good pace on a slight incline. I am not likely to believe that, unless your are one of those olympic walker people lol
just to note agana that that means you burn 49 calories in 7 minutes... so lets say 100 calories in 15 minutes accordin to a fast pace and on a slight incline :)
Everything is a theory with calories. No calculator will know just exactly how many cals you burn with any activity - it's all about estimations, although sometimes they can come pretty close.
7 minutes is unlikely to result in significant number of cals burnt, though.

its about 13-18 minutes of power walking should burn 100 calories. sounds more accurate.
Your answers make more sence lol, i found it funny that losing so many calories in such a low amount of time was true
i do a semi-fast walk on the treadmill for a mile which takes about 16-18 minutes.. and it burns about 90 calories.. so 7 minutes.. no.. it might burn like.. 15 calories?
I wear a heart rate monitor when I walk my dog each morning it takes us bout 11 minutes and I burn 89 cals on average. My dog "pushes" me hard and I am almost jogging.
Calorie burns vary from person to person all depends on your age, weight Height sex and fitness level. A male would probably burn more cals than me if they were my size cuz they are more muscle. A young person would probably be less.

Rule of thumb, more or less for pretty much everyone give or take 10 cals or so, is 100 calories per mile.
HAHA I wish!
