How many calories do you aim to burn off per day?

My target is 1,050 on my exercise bike alone but I find it easy to do more and often do 1,500 but could do a lot more on my exercise bike.

    Holy.....how long are you doing the bike for? 1000-1500 is huge!!

    If it is a lifting day, I usually burn 300-400 calories between 20 minutes cardio and about 45 minutes of lifting. If it is my cardio day, I would burn roughly 600 with a heavy cardio workout for 60 minutes.

    Usually around 500 cal burn., that's with walking 6 miles and weight lifting.

    OP: what are using to estimate your burn??

    90 minutes on a stationary bike is yielding 1500 cal burn? I don't want to bust your bubble, but unless you are morbidly obese and your heart is having to work overtime, I doubt you are burning that many calories.

    How fast/how many miles are you averaging during these 90 minutes?

    My guess is you are probably burning closer to 800 calories for these 90 minutes.
