Calories Calculation Method

Former Member over 4 years ago

I used to burn around 1800 calories when I had the HRM on me every time I used to ride. But since I've installed the Vector 3 power meter, I am burning 500 calories only while I am doing the same distance and effort !!

Does calories calculation method changes after the power meter ?

If yes, how can I revert back to HRM calories calculation ?

Do you think I am getting wrong power meter reading ?

Thank you

Well that's the thing, I am not very confident with my power data since its new.

Today I changed the batteries and made new calibration ...let's see how it goes

You should calibrate every ride, check also if the pedals are tigh to the right torque

Taking your data into account, I would say: 1500 kCal for 1,5 h ride with nearly no elevation gain is way too much. Even if 146 hr avg. seems high - but no way 1500 kCal.

13mph

1500kcal for 90 minutes

1500 = 277watts or so

Would have to be entirely uphill, and a very fit person

no way 1500, agreed
