Does anybody calculate the calories burned cycling? I'm getting numbers all over the place. One of the main reasons I cycle is to get into shape and lose some weight.

For example, this morning Strava tells me I burned 533 calories. However this website
https://caloriesburnedhq.com/calories-burned-biking/
says I burned 1188.

The numbers in case anybody is curious, I weigh 220 pounds, and spent 1:41 riding in over 28 km. Average speed was 16.8 km/h (Was riding with a novice rider today.)

I'd like to think I burned that many calories...
