Calculate your TDEE as a cyclist. Get calorie and macro targets for training, recovery, and race day nutrition.
Cycling burns 400–1,000 calories per hour depending on intensity and terrain. Long rides (2+ hours) can burn 1,500–3,000+ calories. Proper fueling is critical for endurance performance. If you ride 4+ times per week, select "Active" or "Very Active" for accurate TDEE.

The calories burned during cycling depend on intensity, duration, and your body weight. On average, a 70kg person burns 300–800 calories per hour. Use a higher activity level in the calculator if you do cycling regularly (3+ times per week).
If you do cycling 1–3 times per week, choose "Light" or "Moderate." For 4–6 sessions per week, choose "Active." If you train daily or have a physical job on top of cycling, choose "Very Active." When in doubt, go one level lower.
At moderate intensity (20–25 km/h), cycling burns about 400–600 calories per hour. High intensity (30+ km/h) can burn 700–1,000+. Mountain biking typically burns more than road cycling due to terrain variation.
