Not many end up burning less calories as they get fitter, most you burn more.
rgds, sreten.
The funny part is Many medical sites disagree with you and so they use such calculators. And even in your country Harvard is a highly regarded source. And as for you statement
"Bigger wins everywhere except for endurance, you don't see
many sprinters running marathons." I have to disagree. It is power to weight. Climbing jerseys hardly ever go to the big guys. Having just finished books on the history of the TDF, Giro d'itaila and Vuelta bigger doesn't win in the high mountains very often except descending. So to most of the cycling world you are in the minority in your opinion that bigger wins everywhere. So like I said I need to see a study supporting your contention that is at least as creditable as Harvard. So I guess we just disagree.
