Congratulations on TOTALLY missing the question

What I want to know is, that 15mins, which is 100 calories of energy output by the bike user, how many calories of food input do they need to take in to counteract that, 150? 200?

Is there a massive difference between food types, ie are is 100 calories of big mac easier or harder to burn off than 100 calories of lettuce (gotta be harder getting the energy out of something like lettuce during digestion surely?)
