Yes. Your target heart rate is based on a percentage of your maximum heart rate. The formula is:
(((220 - Age) - RHR) * 0.7) + RHR
This formula will figure for 70% of your maximum based on the Karvonen Method. Your Resting Heart Rate (RHR) should be averaged over a few days (3-5). You should take it upon waking, before getting out of bed, and count total ...

According to WikiHow, the Navy's Body Fat calculation formulas are as follows (measurements in cm):
men: %Fat = 86.010*LOG(abdomen - neck) - 70.041*LOG(height) + 30.30
women: %Fat = 163.205*LOG(abdomen + hip - neck) - 97.684*LOG(height) - 78.387
I couldn't find a site that actually explains these equations, but I can make some educated guess about ...

Calories/hour @ 120bpm - Calories/0.1 Liter * 7 (1 bottle is 0.7L) = your net Calorie gain/loss
Running at 120 bpm for 1 hour for someone who's overweight would probably equate to 500 Calories. It depends on your pace and weight whether this accurate.
Assuming the calories in your bottle of Meursault is about 90 Calories per 100 ml = 90*7 = 630 Calories

A small factor is rounding error. There is probably not exactly 60 g of protein any more than there is exactly 9 calories per gram of every single type of fat.
Another may be over-estimation. The could just be rounding up to 300 to provide a nice number or cover themselves, since some chicken breasts may be larger or fattier than others.
Finally is how ...

Don't rely so much on the 'target' heart rate zones.
Lets say the 'fat burning zone' is at 70% of your max, that does'nt mean you'll burn more calories at that rate than if you were at 80%, it means you'll get slightly more benefit per effort you put in. Your NET calories burnt will still be higher at the end of a workout of the same length if your heart ...

You are correct. Running consumes 110 calories per mile. Calories consumed when cycling depends upon the speed at which you cycle (due to air resistance). Cycling at 15 miles per hour will burn just 31 calories per mile.

Consider an example, a person X who's weight is say :90 kg.
Then consider another person Y who's weight is also :90 kg.
Both have same weight, BUT, X has more lean mass than Y. What does that mean?
it means your bodyweight is a sum of different factors:
Your body fat mass (fat percentage)
Your body muscle(lean) mass (muscle percentage)
Your body water ...

Likely what you are asking for is the formula to calculate your Basal Metabolic Rate. Here is the Harris-Benedict equation for BMR:
Women: BMR = 655 + ( 9.6 x weight in kilos ) + ( 1.8 x height in cm )
- ( 4.7 x age in years )
Men: BMR = 66 + ( 13.7 x weight in kilos ) + ( 5 x height in cm ) - ( 6.8 x age in years )
Your actual caloric needs ...
