Ok, I take the electronic calories a bit with a grain of salt.
But my recent ride:
Friday: 6937 Stravacalories
Saturday 2708 Stravacalories (8.9 miles, 982 feet not counted).
Sunday: 4995 Stravacalories
Monday: 2093 Stravacalories
Total (4 days):
17,543 Stravacalories
None of that, of course, counts that I was carrying a heavy load on a steel bike.
How should one adjust for gear weight? Add it to the person's weight? Ignore it?
I suppose I take those calculations with a grain of salt, but it is always good to pack a little extra chow for the trips. I feel like I've lost some weight, but the scale doesn't seem to think so. Perhaps I ate too much salty foods.
