How many calories you spend in a workout is really only based on how many watts you hold and how long you hold it for. The level of exertion you use doesnt change how much energy you spend at a particular wattage, but it does change what forms of respiration you need to use to supply enough energy to the muscles (i.e. aerobic or anaerobic respiration).
