Most accurate way to calculate calories burnt

[bradx888]

I was just wondering what the most accurate way of calculating the calories burnt during a ride is?

I know of a few websites that do it but they are very basic taking into account only time. After just cycling up a steep hill I was wondering if anybody knows of a way to calculate calories taking hills and gradients into account?

There isn't one that is accurate, but the closest is going to be a power meter.

Does it really matter that much, and given we are all different, no generic website will be especially accurate for you?

I go with 30-40 calories per mile (adjusted up or down a teeny bit for your weight and effort expended)

If looking to lose weight, eat less, drink more water, cycle more and it should come off (unless you are me )
