I would not be surprised if the actual value for you is closer to the 80 number you came up with.
I walk between 3 mph, and if pushing myself, close to 4.2 mph. Is this what you do? I am not walking up any hills, yet. I am thinking that these parameters that describe my situation and the rate I burn calories as a consequence may be helpful to you. Of course you have a different BMI than I do, probably also a different BMR.

I think I walk about the same pace. The watch is no help with figuring that out since it has the steps for milling around at work mixed in with the exercise steps. I might have an elapsed time of 20 minutes to take 300 steps at work from stopping in doorways to get or report status.
My BMI is 24.2 if I use 159 as the weight. I think my BMR is lower than it should be. The calculator says 1515.
