Answer: It does not depend on solely on your weight, but it does depend on whether or not you are going just upstairs or just downstairs. The energy expenditure of going UP stairs is about twice that of going DOWN stairs.
The forumla breakdown is:
UP: 0.11 calories per stair
DOWN: 0.05 calories per stair
Note the above are not full calories but a percentage of a calorie.
