bike riding and burning carbs? Help?

Hummm...been surfing the net like crazy trying to find a good chart on the ratio of miles/per/carbs burnt while bike riding....and, so far, also, all I'm see is about a zillion sites for diet products that they want to sell ya fur millions of monies.....
Anyone have any suggestions or information on how much outdoor bike riding will burn x amount of carbs and calories?

I've found that bicycle riding really helps whenever I want to lose weight.
Once you achieve a certain level of fitness, it's not that hard to burn
900-1000 calories in less than 90 minutes of fairly intense riding. There aren't many other exercises that burn calories at that rate. I've never really liked running, and really dislike the pounding it delivers to my joints. Bicycle riding is very easy on knees, ankles, etc., and you generate your own cooling wind while riding. I also like the bike tech, and just feeling "fast" (which I don't feel when running...<g>.

FWIW - if you're interested in how many calories you're burning on your rides, you can download my program from http://www.CycliStats.com (the
45-day trial version is fully functional). It automatically calculates your calories burned for each ride, using all those factors I mentioned in my earlier post. According to my own records, I've burned 40,861 calories (=11.7 lbs of fat) so far this year, in 896 miles of riding...which makes the occasional cookie a guilt-free experience for me .

I doubt you will find one that tells you how many carbs are burnt during exercise.

But there are tons of sites that will tell you how many calories are burned per exercise.

The favorite around here tends to be the www.caloriesperhour.com website. But webmd has one, MSN fitness has one, Fitday has one, and there are many more.

that's what I have seen too. right now I am 232 on a racing bike and I do almost
10 miles each way I average 16mph on a good day one way and 15 the other.
it would be interesting to know how much I burn but it can be figured out by how much you loose (G)

not if you ride 100 miles a day (G)

http://caloriesperhour.com/ will give you some info about the calories.

yesterday I got 6.4 going to work (only a few small slopes) coming home I got
14.9 with rolling hills. but still now I have to worry am I eating enough? god life is a pain sometimes (G)

I use the bike to commute. so I get my workout and my travel all in one. almost
10 miles each way. I may be burning up to 700 calories per ride. I have not now worry am I eating enough?
my body does not digest food well and before I was riding I was actually starving. I ate a fair amount but I could not loose any. I had to start eating more when I started riding to get enough energy the more I ate the more I lost within reason.
Well my guts are working better but not perfect. I haven to lost any weight so
I am wondering if I need more food. I am not sure I can eat anymore.

try the attached site, it's not much but it's something other than a site where someone is trying to sell you something.

As far as eating, this might help I got it off of suite101.com

Here are a few basic rules of thumb:

Don't eat within 2 hours of a bike race. The food needs time to digest and get out of your stomach before your bike race. If you eat too soon to your bike race you'll start to feel sick when you start to exert yourself. Some bike racers end up throwing up their breakfast during races because they don't follow this rule. Don't become one of them.
Eat a high carbohydrate meal before your race. Oatmeal, whole grain breads, bagels and English muffins, pancakes, waffles, pasta. These are all good foods to eat before a bike race. They will give you the kind of energy you need to keep going for hours. Try to avoid white bread and sugar cereal before the bike race because they'll give you short term energy but won't be there when you really need it.
No protein or dairy. Meat and eggs will sit in your stomach too long. You don't want things sitting in your stomach when you're trying to race in a bike race. Dairy products like milk, cheese and yogurt may make you feel sick. Try to avoid these foods before your bike race.
Hydrate. You also must remember to drink enough. Staying hydrated is really important to bike racing. Drinking an endurance drink is good for you during a bike race too, we like Gatorade Endurance ourselves. Drinking too much during a bike race isn't good either so you need to find the right balance for you.
Eat and Drink. If it is going to be a particularly long bike race you may want to bring a small snack to eat along the way. Don't eat too much at once during the bike race or you'll get sick but you may need a recharge. A general rule of thumb for bike rides is to drink every 15 minutes and eat every 15 miles. I'm not sure how that goes with bike racing but it might be something to think about.
After the race. Get more carbohydrates into you right away after the bike race, within 30 minutes. Also, replenish your vitamins. Get a recovery drink right after your bike race, that's what they're for. Eat your proteins now.

It talks about what and when to eat so your body is ready. Any high carb item but avoid carbs with sugars. Plus no protein before you ride, it will take too long to digest.

Good luck!
