    nothing, really.. you can use a heart rate monitor but even that'll be off.
    depends on too many variables to get a perfect reading.

    They can be wildly off too. Same bike ride, same distance, 2 different weekends. 1st with an HRM showed 1688c and the 2nd without a HRM a fitness app calculated 3300c used. Both rides came in at around 3.5hrs in similar weather. Similar story with the commute to work, HRM gives about 5-700c but fitness app gives 1177c. That said, I do eat an awful lot.
