The Nutracheck app feels way off for calorie use during exercise. I dont think any of these things really get it right so I just ignore it.
I did a 3.5 hour gravelly ride and it said I could consume and extra 2500 (total of 4000) and still be on track for a 1000 calorie deficit. I'm not having that.

You can sync it with your garmin, which should be relatively accurate if you use with a hrm

I'm going to dig out the heart rate monitor for the next time I go on a ride. Couple of 3h rides done already this year and haven't tried to top up calories after those as I didn't really feel like I needed to after a normal lunch/snacks.
Will try and put just a little bit more effort in when next out on the bike... maybe...

Back to work today. Let's see how long I can hold off from procrastisnacking.
Have dropped daily calorie target a little too. Definitely over-estimated my "activity level" when I started. Despite riding for more than 3h a week (or whatever was suggested for the "active" band), I realised the pace is so laid back, my heart rate probably decreases.
Other than that, feeling fairly good so far. Starting to feel hungry in the run up to meals, can't remember the last time that happened.
