Working out and calories

692 views

I’ve been working out for about 4 months now (HIIT on a spin bike and a bit of weightlifting ~20 mins.) three times a week. I’m seeing good improvement in health and physique despite having no idea what I’m doing.

My motivator was calories, but now when I work out I burn way less calories because my body is getting used to the stress, I think. What’s happening? Is my workout less useful than before? Can I not eat as much or is my body burning more fuel now?

Okay think of it this way, a calorie is just a unit of energy. The amount of energy it takes to cycle for 30 mins (assuming you keep the resistance the same) doesn’t change person to person (besides some variables like body weight) regardless of fitness
