To answer my own question I just found this.
What is a KCAL in exercise?
The number of kilocalories (kcals) you burn depends on the type of exercise you

and calories.

how reliable these sorts of things are. I would look up how many calories a
person typically burns using a stationary bike per minute or per hour and
go from there.
