Did we solve your problem today?

Hiking burns plenty of calories, more so on hills or with a heavy pack.

The math behind it

calories = MET × weight × hours. General hiking is about 6 MET; steep terrain with a pack is higher.

70 kg hiking 2 hours at 6 MET → about 840 kcal.

Does a backpack add much?

Yes — carrying a load can push the MET to 7–8 or more.
