Let's say it is an order of magnitude more (~100kcal/km), I ride about 30km per day average right now that'd mean I burn 3kcal/day extra just from this training. I am eating nowhere near 5kcal/day (assuming ~2kcal maintenance just for living plus other movement during the day) so I'd be losing weight very quickly if that estimate were correct.
The .15cal/g is much closer to what I'm probably burning. According to my Garmin it was 540 calories which is 18kcal/km, and I weigh ~86kg which puts me at about .20cal/g, not much higher than Walton's number. And I was definitely not taking a casual pace, there was no coasting on that ride.
