I’ve worked out a formula based on speed, weight and time to get a rough estimate of calorie burn for my cycling trips. Interestingly, it hits a bit of a plateau in the middle speed ranges, as shown below. If my calculations are correct, then, I can take it a bit easier going in without hitting a calorie penalty (or, hopefully, needing a shower). On the way home I can boot it, make up the time from the morning, and hop straight into the pool to refresh myself. Win\/Win\/Win\/Win. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Note that I have correlated these calculations with my heart rate monitor (which is probably using a variation of the same formula, since I worked mine out from plotting various responses from different “Calorie counting” Web sites). Bonus points if you can tell me how much I weighed when I made this graph!<\/p>\n
