Someone told me that I burn 130 calories per mile at my weight (250 LB). So I walked 8 miles which would mean I burned 1,040 calories. Is this true????

I think 130 Calories per mile is the right number for your weight. I burn 100 Calories per mile but I weigh 160 lbs.

No. You burned around 450 calories, maybe a little more or less, depending on your pace. That equals a big donut. 8 miles is good, though - good for you! Don't eat anything after 7pm; that always helps me.

130 seems a little high to me too. but not that bad. Its at least 100 calories per mile. 8 miles is a lot. That's like almost 3 hours of walking.

That seems high. You might consider investing in a fitness watch that will monitor your heart rate. There are several on the market and they can be very cheap. They can usually estimate how many calories you burn.
