Let me start this with saying I have always been a cyclist from age 5 I’ve raced road and track.
However now I’m well and truely into my keto journey to get down to a weight where I will be able to join the defence forces here in Australia. Working a full time job I have a limited amount of time to exercise per day.
(Trust me I’d rather go riding for 6 hours like the pros)
But I find I burn more calories running for 40mins in the morning and evenings than I do riding.
Now we talk a lot about the calorie in calorie out theory and that it’s on its final legs as a hypothesis.
So my question is 40mins burning 600 calories running vs 40mins burning 355 calories
Is it as simple as running is more effect at burning calories therefore greater weight loss or is it just the time I spend with my heart rate up.
(Please note I’m not talking about fitness or muscle building as that is a whole other conversation)
