It's interesting that the calorie count is 1,223 for 40 miles at 126W. I don't have a power meter yet and my Apple Watch says I burnt 923 calories on a 21 mile ride (15 mph). I wonder if I'm really only half as efficient as you at cycling (I weigh 185 lbs). Which power meter do you have btw?
Calorie count can vary quite a bit. I'm at the same weight as you and on a spirited solo ride I'll average about 1k calories per hour (this is with a PM). I've also gone out with friends that are relatively new cyclists and the pace has had my calories tank down in to the I-might-as-well-have-gone-for-a-walk region.
