I'm not anal enough to want exact numbers.
Calorie counting is a rough estimate for me. Likewise for burned calories.
This method has worked well.
I use 20 Calories a mile for easy efforts, 30 moderate, and 40 for superhuman going to die type efforts.
I'm sure it is all BS but my weight is stable or drops depending on my goal.

I also do not bother tracking during days that have huge amounts of exercise and the day after. Ex a 120 mile ride with 13,000 feet of climbing.

The only reason I track is to keep me from eating everything in sight due to my insatiable appetite.
