Festive Fitness & FAQ
Everything you need to know about mince pie calories, walking off festive treats, and staying active during the holidays.
A standard store-bought mince pie contains approximately 250 to 300 calories. Homemade versions can vary depending on the amount of butter in the pastry and the sugar content of the mincemeat. Our calculator uses an average of 280 calories per pie.
If a mince pie contains 280 calories and you burn approximately 0.04 calories per step (which equals 25 steps per calorie), it takes about 7,000 steps to burn off one standard mince pie. This is roughly equivalent to a 5.3 km (3.3 mile) walk.
On average, a person burns about 0.04 to 0.05 calories per step. This number depends on your weight, height, walking speed, and terrain. A heavier person or someone walking uphill will burn more calories per step than a lighter person on a flat surface.
For the average person walking at a moderate pace of 100 steps per minute, it takes about 100 minutes (1 hour and 40 minutes) to walk 10,000 steps. If you walk at a brisker pace, it may take closer to 75 to 90 minutes.
To enjoy mince pies without gaining weight, practice portion control by sticking to one or two pies, choose smaller sizes, or opt for ‘slimline’ versions which are often lower in fat and sugar. You can also balance it out by adding an extra daily walk to your routine to burn off the excess calories!
