As long as your heart rate is at about 80% of it's max, you'll be burning the same calories on whichever bike you ride. I'm going to put you on the spot and ask why you think it would be more on a BMX. Also, I think your protein intake may be a bit too high, but I could be wrong. If you don't have answers to all your questions by the time I log back on this evening, I'll see what info I can find for you. It's not a weird question, it's a good question.
