Found out my bike commute burns over 500 calories each way
I got a cheap heart rate monitor armband last week just to see what my morning ride was actually doing. Turns out my 8 mile ride to work burns about 520 calories on average. I found this out by logging three days of rides through the app that came with the monitor. I was shocked because I always thought I was just cruising along without pushing hard. Now I realize I can eat a bigger breakfast without feeling guilty. Has anyone else measured their actual burn and been surprised by the numbers?

Ha, I'd probably just use that as an excuse to eat an entire pizza.

lol @rowan262 exactly, that's basically what happened to me... I started letting myself have a bigger lunch and now I'm justifying all kinds of snacks on the way home too.
