How is the calories meter on exercise bikes accurate - eviltoast

The bike knows my height and weight and that’s about it. From that it can calculate how my body burns calories?

Every body is very different, so I don’t see how any calculation can be accurate.

    It doesn’t need to be perfect, just reasonably close.

    If you’re trying to track calories down to even double digits you’re going to have a ton of error on both the input and output.
