3570 calories? Holy crap....no wonder you have a hard time gaining weight. You would need to eat something like 6000 calories in order to gain....lol

Hard to tell with you sometimes, though I had a feeling you were.

3570 calories is more than a pound of body fat. (3500 is said to be.) I doubt it, lol.

1 pound =3500 calories and most adult men burn on average about 2500 calories/day.. so that bike ride +2500 =6000 calories to maintain weight!

I think my daily usage of calories is about 2800, 3300 when I go to the gym

It was an all day bike ride (88 miles, 6720 feet of climbing*)

*sounds a bit too high, app probably added tiny rolling climbs

Tommy, I wouldn't say that if I were you, even in jest. Never assume Big Brother isn't listening.

You must weigh very similar to me my daily usage is about 2900 calories.....can be up to 4500 when I go on long runs, about 3500 when I use the gym.

88 miles? I think it's very possible that you burned 3570 calories....I would burn 760 calories biking an hour at 13 mph....so you biking like 6-7 hours it seems possible for you to burn that much.
