Bicycle Weight Loss Calculator

Formula

To calculate the Bicycle Weight Loss (BWL):

\[ BWL = \frac{CB - CE}{3500} \]

Where:

\(BWL\) is the Bicycle Weight Loss (lbs)
\(CB\) is the calories burned while biking (cals)
\(CE\) is the calories consumed (cals)

What is Bicycle Weight Loss?

Bicycle Weight Loss refers to the amount of weight lost as a result of burning more calories than consumed while biking. This metric helps individuals track their progress towards weight loss goals by accounting for the calories burned during biking and subtracting the calories consumed. One pound of weight loss is approximately equivalent to a deficit of 3,500 calories.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Calories Burned (\(CB\)) = 5000 cals
Calories Consumed (\(CE\)) = 2000 cals

Using the formula:

Step 1: Calculate the calorie deficit:

\[ CB - CE = 5000 - 2000 = 3000 \text{ cals} \]

Step 2: Divide by 3,500:

\[ BWL = \frac{3000}{3500} \approx 0.86 \text{ lbs} \]

The Bicycle Weight Loss is approximately 0.86 lbs.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Calories Burned (\(CB\)) = 8000 cals
Calories Consumed (\(CE\)) = 4500 cals

Using the formula:

Step 1: Calculate the calorie deficit:

\[ CB - CE = 8000 - 4500 = 3500 \text{ cals} \]

Step 2: Divide by 3,500:

\[ BWL = \frac{3500}{3500} = 1 \text{ lbs} \]

The Bicycle Weight Loss is 1 lb.
