Hi all! I need some help regarding determining the number of calories I burned. I am 5'9, 222lb. I did the stationary bike this morning and input my info into the bike. I did 37 minutes 30 seconds on the stationary bike at an incline of 8/20 for 9.5 miles with an average pace of 15.5 mph. The bike said that I burned 350 calories, but when I log the info into my journal under even the moderate cycling speed MFP says I burned a lot more calories. My question is which one should I use? The calories burned from the bike or the calories MFP calculates I would have burned? I appreciate any help you can provide!

    ... The wheels were 22 inches in diameter and the Barometric Pressure was 30.19 and rising Did you have to ride into a strong headwind? That makes it more difficult.



    I'd go with the 350. 10 calories a minute is a pretty good guess for you on an exercise like that.
