Hello!
I recently started riding my a bike (outdoor bike) as a way to get some cardio into my life.
I'm also counting calories, and am trying to figure out an estimate of how many calories I burn when biking. I know it's not an exact science, and I'd prefer to underestimate my calorie burn than overestimate.
I have a Fitbit Inspire HR. I used my Fitbit to track my ride today (didn't pause it during my midway lunch break) and it said I burned 922 calories. I know that's not right.
I also tracked my ride with "Map My Ride" and did pause it during my lunch break. It said I burned 305 calories.
Since there was such a large difference, I used this website to calculate calories burned and got 319.
Based on the above, I'm assuming it was somewhere in the area of ~300. I assumed my Fitbit would be more accurate since it tracks heart rate, but why is it so different?
How do you guys track exercise like this?
I can provide more info if it's helpful, just let me know. (Or let me know if there's a more appropriate sub for this.)
