I have read that the kcals used when riding has to do with the watage and the time. However isnt this also affected by heart rate? For example, if I ride at 200 wats for 1 hour in a sauna suit in a warm room, wont I burn more kcal as compared to riding the same time and wats when using several fans and an AC (since the body has to use energy to cool me down in the sauna suit)? Isnt it so that the 360 kcal for 100 wats for 1 hour is the minimum, and that this can be increased by riding in less than perfect conditions?
Another thing, is it really possible that a person with an FTP of 200 will burn the same amount of kcal when riding at 200 wats for 1 hour as a pro cyclist burns riding at 200 wats for 1 hour? I have read that it is so but I find it hard to imagine.
