The bike knows my height and weight and that’s about it. From that it can calculate how my body burns calories?

Every body is very different, so I don’t see how any calculation can be accurate.

    Humans are about 25 % efficient. Not bad, but also not that good. So factor 4 to wherever actual work you did. The question is: Does the bike take that into account already?

      Is that 25% efficient at burning calories to produce force or inefficient at converting food into usable calories?

      I meant to say in the spending of our calories through our muscles

        Input to output of a human. So 1000 kJ food = 250 kJ work done with muscles.

          Makes sense. So the bike gives kJ in work done with muscles, which I guess is even more confusing

            I do not know if that is the case.
