I’m comically out of shape at this time (I’m also not a big guy) and output over 100w watts for an entire hour; 80 seems remarkably low.

Then again, I’m pushing far faster than 15km/h.

This is per my trainer, which is supposedly quite accurate.

Yeah, 80 watts was just an arbitrary doubling of a rough estimate for average cruising on a bike.

That said, I think it's still somewhat reasonable to do the calculations below the level of a workout because not everyone is going to want to do a high intensity workout every time they want to cook something.
