Calories to Kj
Posted: Thu Jun 19, 2008 12:54 pm
Knowing nothing, I've accepted the two numbers for calories and kilojoules given in teh iBike tool.
Looking at the ratios from several rides, I concluded that 1 calorie = 1.046 kilojoules.
But then I looked on the internet and found that 1 calorie = 4.184 kilojoules.
Your conversion is off by a factor of 4.
I suspect you know something I don't (not surprising since I don't know anything about this).
So what don't I know?
