Edge 305 & Calories
Edge 305 & Calories
My new Garmin Edge 305 calculates the calories I have supposedly used during a ride. Knowing the calories and time I should be able to estimate my wattage for the ride. However, when I do this I get more that a Kilowatt. I rode for slightly less than 2 hours and used 1750 calories. If I really could generate over a kilowatt for an hour I'm in the wrong business. I know about the Kcal vs cal issue but neither answer makes sense. I figure there are three possibilities. 1 - The 305 over estimates the calories used. 2 - The number is the calories to run the old bod + what ever I have to generate for the ride. This still doesn't maker sense to me because, if I remember right, the base rate for a person is about 200 watts and I don't believe I can generate 800 watts either. 3 - I'm missing something here BTW does anyone know what algorithm the edge uses to calculate calories? Thanks Steve G |
