The calorie calculator says that if you do "Bicycling - stationary, moderate" activity for 50minutes and you weigh 86kg, then you burn 502 calories (sic).

im on 100kg so what does this mean- i loose more or less? thx so so much for all the info, you guys will never know what this means to me!

About 4/5 years ago I lost 30kg's by just eating a bit more responsibly (counting calories) and upping my exercise by running/cycling. Weight comes off quickly and I lost it within a year. Then I stopped watching what I ate and just kept on exercising. Weight has been stable for 3 years, but recently picked up a few kg's living "the good life".

 

To loose them I used the calorie calculator to determine a) what to eat and B) how many calories I burned per hour per activity (very anal I know, but calculating it all works for me!) and in the last 3 weeks I've dropped 4kg's without ever going hungry. Watching/counting calories work for me.

 

Eat about 2000/2200kcal per day and throw in exercise of about 500kcal and you will shed pounds in no time. Watch out for hidden calories like sugar in coffee and wine and cut out snacking! If you burn more than 500-1000 calories you might get cravings to binge, so keep it all to realistic levels. It can be done!

 

I'm sure some people might say that is too much too soon, but I've done it before and it works for me.

That's an awfully low intake. The typical recommended deficit for sustainable, long-term weight loss is around 500 kcal/day. Based on that and assuming your calorie calculations are correct, you'd need around 2300 kcal or 9600 kJ per day.
