      my bf is able to do something like 5-6k, but he could easily win a regional weightlifting title if he wanted to, and maybe even national but you kinda have to wreck your body for that and hes at a disadvantage due to being very tall. you kinda have to eat specific foods that digest fast (low fodmap high protein foods) in order to keep the conveyor belt rolling

      personally im lucky if i can pull in 1k each day, i have eating issues and im tiny kitty-cri

      i do 3000 calories of cardio a week and find it hard to eat only 2k. I started counting my calories about half a year ago and I was eating 3k/day. I cut it down to 2k and tried to make better diet choices and lost about 30 lbs, but I'm really fricking hungry all the time due to how much I exercise. xok

        Why do you guys spend this much time counting?

          i just look at the exercise machine when I'm done and read the nutrition facts before i eat something. then i put it into a little spreadsheet. doesn't really take that much time. i ain't using my fingers to count lol

        Can relate. For a period I was always at a caloric deficit due to having to bike to work in addition to running 10 miles or so every other day. Running injuries and finally being able to afford a car but a cabash on that.

      Without seeing how they arrived at those numbers, I'm going to assume they aren't accounting for food waste. They might be using food "sold/purchased."
