I remember I used to weigh/measure every piece of food that went into my mouth and had even managed to consume less than 5g of fat per day. And those nights I went out I had a beer and a slide of pizza to replenish and together that only added 700 calories. | |

If you read the resource as canon then (9 * 400 + 3 * 500) That's 4600 calories/week for activities alone or about 660/day increase. | |

The only thing that I think might bring the number down a little is your age. I've lost 5-7 pounds in a month from Snowboarding 3 days a week while living on a diet of mostly greasy burgers and a considerable amount of beer/alcohol. Now, I'm definitely no slouch when I ride but that's a lot of calories burned (and I was out of shape when I started so I was building muscle too). | |
