Rundoozer - thanks fo taking time to explain. Really appreciate it. Thinking about it, I think it makes sense. I I used Mfp and at he calories burned bu spread over the week that would be 1000 extra per day or 2800 which is close to the numbers tdee gives me. I guess I'll be eating a lot more now!

Ah, ok. So factoring in 6 hours on the bike my tdee is More like 3900, less 20% is 3100 a day! Which seems very high

Yep

So I should be eating 2600 calories and eating bak another 5000 a week for the cycling? That cant be right? Surely thats too much?

I'm in. Jan goal is 400 miles. So far I've done 230.

It's more than 60% of mhr and I always ride upwards of 100 miles each week sometimes 200 so I need something sustainable.

Yeah think you might be right! might aim for a bit more on riding days.

Those aren't the measure from my garmin they are from the app and match what other websites say... But they do feel high! Thanks for th replies.

Nearly, it's just over 50miles round trip but I'm 270lbs.
