Gloria:

 

My Grandmother (who is 103) walks faster than 2 mph.  When I walk, it is usually at 3.5 to 4 mph. And I wouldn't eat a Snickers bar. They are chocolate and chocolate is gross.

 

The part of this that the formula doesn't take into account is that exercising on a regular basis raises your basal metabolism.  So that when you are sitting, you are burning more calories than your inactive counterpart.

Hi,

 

if you eat a 2 OZ Snickers candybar it is 273 calories. If you weigh 150# & you walked 60 min at 2 mph you would only lose 189 calories
