First, we need to convert Miguel's weight to kilograms.

250 pounds = 113.4 kilograms

Next, we need to calculate the total amount of time Miguel spends walking each week.

30 minutes/day * 5 days/week = 150 minutes/week

Now we can calculate the additional kilocalories Miguel will burn each week:

0.044 kcal/kg body weight/minute * 113.4 kg * 150 minutes/week = 750 kcal/week

Therefore, the correct answer is choice C, which is 750.
