Let us know if you monitor your calorie consumption in the comments👇

There are various ways of calculating how many calories you burn when cycling. A power-meter is a great way to work it out. However, you can also do the maths with a formula based around your heart-rate.
There are many variables to consider too, such as fatigue, a naturally low heart beat etc.

Oh, and let's not forget, you are even burning calories when resting/recovering.

Why does this matter? Well, it's important you're replacing what you have used so that your body is in good condition. Carefully considered calories are the way to go.
