How long do you need to cycle to burn off a pancake? It&#8217;s quite handy to know if you&#8217;re looking to lose weight or maintain your current weight. As mentioned in a previous blog about fat burning, the key to weight loss is simply consuming fewer calories than you expend. Knowledge is power, as they say. So, let&#8217;s dive into how many calories you actually burn while cycling in today&#8217;s blog.<\/p>\n<h2>What factors determine the number of calories burned?<\/h2>\n<p>It mainly depends on:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Your weight<\/li>\n<li>Gender<\/li>\n<li>The intensity of your activity<\/li>\n<li>Your age<\/li>\n<li>And the duration of the effort<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>How many calories do I burn while cycling?<\/h3>\n<p>Someone weighing 70 kilograms cycling at 25 km\/h burns approximately 700 kilocalories per hour. But how do you calculate your burn if you don&#8217;t weigh 70 kilograms and cycle at a different speed? Well, here&#8217;s how. The following formula provides a good estimate:<\/p>\n<p>Total calories burned = Duration of your activity in minutes x (MET x 3.5 x weight in kg) \/ 200<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/howdyhealth.tamu.edu\/use-metabolic-equivalents-mets-to-calculate-calories-burned\/#:~:text=One%20MET%20is%20the%20energy,hour%2C%20for%20the%20average%20adult.\">MET number<\/a> (Metabolic Equivalent for Task) estimates how much energy your body expends during a specific activity. Cycling at an average of 28 kilometers per hour? Your MET is 12. For example, if you&#8217;re cycling at 32 kilometers per hour, your MET is 15.8.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve compiled the following MET scores for you:<\/p>\n<p>Speed in km\/h &#8211; MET score 9 &#8211; 3.5 15 &#8211; 5.8 18 &#8211; 6.8 21 &#8211; 8 24 &#8211; 10 28 &#8211; 12 32 &#8211; 15.8 35 &#8211; 17.5 37 &#8211; 20 40 &#8211; 23<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s say you weigh 80 kilograms and you&#8217;ve cycled for 60 minutes at an average of 32 kilometers per hour. The formula would look like this:<\/p>\n<p>Total calories burned = 60 x (15.8 x 3.5 x weight in kg) \/ 200<\/p>\n<p>Which amounts to: 1327.0 Kcal (!)<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, there are plenty of apps available nowadays (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/\">Strava<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.garmin.com\/en-US\/\">Garmin<\/a>, Tacx, Swift, etc.) that can easily estimate your calorie expenditure.<\/p>\n<p>Do you want to read more of these kind of articles?
