My Spins class instructor said that our bikes measured our calories burned by "Kcals"? Is that the same as regular calories? Or do I have to do some conversions in my numbers? Like for instance, my friends bike said she burned about 300 kcals. Does that mean she burned 300 calories? Or less/more?
 
It's the same thing k calories referrs to 1000 gram of water raised 1 deg C. Food calorie = Kcal
