Calorie Burn

I forgot to put this in my daily post, but I wanted to share this tidbit. Yesterday I did 5 miles of interval training on the stationary bike. I kept a good heart rate going at about 128-134 bpm for the 5 miles and then cooled down.

I decided to calculate my calories burned since it's been several years since I've ridden the stationary bike. My grand total calorie burn for this exercise was somewhere in the neighborhood of 150-170 calories. Not a whole lot. Looking at that number really brought home why I don't eat back exercised calories. Heck, 150 calories isn't even the number of calories in a Quest Bar! 

I think this really shows why it is so hard to exercise off a bad eating plan.
