- Estimated calories equal MET value multiplied by 3.5, multiplied by body weight in kilograms, divided by 200, then multiplied by minutes.
- MET values describe population averages. Individual efficiency, fitness, bike calibration, body composition, and whether the displayed power is accurate can change real energy use.

What does this stationary bike calorie calculator tell you?
Estimate energy used during a stationary bike session from body weight, duration, and a MET intensity tied to bike power.
Estimated calories equal MET value multiplied by 3.5, multiplied by body weight in kilograms, divided by 200, then multiplied by minutes.
How to use the result
Use the result as a consistent planning number. Record the inputs with the answer so a later comparison uses the same method.
Recalculate when the underlying inputs change. Avoid comparing results created with different units, measurement methods, or machine settings.
Where the number stops being useful
MET values describe population averages. Individual efficiency, fitness, bike calibration, body composition, and whether the displayed power is accurate can change real energy use.
What is the catch?
Check every entry and keep units consistent. When an input is uncertain, calculate a reasonable high and low case so you can see how much the answer depends on that number.

Common questions
Why does the calculator show a range?
A range better reflects the uncertainty of estimating energy use from a population average.
Should I use heart rate instead of watts?
Use measured power when available because it directly describes work at the bike. Heart rate can vary with heat, stress, medication, and fatigue.
