Reply to comment by PM-ME-SOMETHING-GOOD in Study Suggests Wild Blueberries Help Burn Fat. Results showed participants burned notably more fat after consuming wild blueberries. For example, fat oxidation rate rose by 19.7%, 43.2%, and 31.1% at 20, 30, and 40 min after cycling. by Wagamaga

I mean exercise can absolutely use up a ton of calories. 40 minutes of moderate-intensity cycling is probably burning 500ish calories. Maybe that doesn't sound like a lot but it's basically a 25% increase in calories burned for an average(ish) person. Ignore the fact that exercising can make maintaining a calorie deficit psychologically more difficult since you'll probably end up really hungry after.

That last sentence is pretty important. But your numbers check out and that's crazy surprising to me. Most of the cardio exercises I had looked at were nowhere close to that, or I was completely misremembering.
