Calculate how many calories you burn cycling based on weight, duration, intensity, and elevation.
Cycling Calorie Calculator
Estimate calories burned cycling based on weight, duration, intensity, and terrain.
How This Works
Uses MET values from 4.0 (leisure cycling) to 12.0 (vigorous racing). Formula: Calories = MET x weight(kg) x hours.
FAQ
How many calories does cycling burn per hour?
A 70 kg person burns 400-700 calories/hour depending on intensity.
Does cycling burn more than running?
Running typically burns more per hour, but cycling is lower impact and can be sustained longer.
Does uphill cycling burn more?
Yes. Climbing significantly increases calorie burn, up to 50-100% more than flat riding.
Does cycling speed affect calories?
Yes. Doubling your speed roughly doubles calorie burn due to exponential wind resistance.
