I burn that at the gym Atleast and am currently trying to get to 2000 but so far I'm getting stuck at 1600 on cardio I never include weight training Cals but anyway is that good or just normal? How many do you burn? And how much should I be eating if I want to loose weight quick ?

Depends how often do u do it, do u feel sore after that or have muscle strain and do u eat enough.Because u can not eat 1200 cal and burn 1000 cal, you will burn out.0 -
what are you doing that is burning that much?? i'm on my bike for two and a half hours and i'll burn 1200 calories, but that is once a week!! a 90 minute run might burn me about 1200 calories, but again, once a week!! to aim to burn 1000+ calories a day would be really unsustainable for the average person... geez, probably hard for the average professional triathlete!!0

Maybe it is "Insanity cardio " I heard it burns a lot.0 -
I think 1000 and even more 2000 burned calories through gym is a crazy amount. It would take me to run 2 to 4 hours a day ( and energy that I simply don´t have). I burn around 500 every day through sports. I´m not a specialist but you look already skinny in your picture, please take care of yourself and don´t obsess over exercise. An hour sports every second day and a balanced 1500 cals diet ( or whatever -20% of your tdee is ) and you´re good to go. ( English is not my native language, whoever finds mistakes, can keep them :P )0

Unless you're spending hours at the gym, it's doubtful you are burning that much. Machines can often-times over inflate calorie burn estimates.
But in general, 1000 calories is alot, and 2000 is beyond overkill. You're leaving yourself open to injury even trying to get that much.0 -

Yes def 2000 is too,too much and 1000 cal maybe if u do 15 km marathon0 -
not normal. especially if working out is somewhat new to u. i burn about 300 cals a day doing cardio and twice a week weight training i average 45 min. i dont over do it because i am doing it daily and being new to exercise i have injured myself in the past trying to do too much too soon0

I used to think this way - totally switched away - you will raise cortisol levels and that works against fat loss (speaking simplistically).0

I'm also curious how your burn 1000 calories. I burn around 335 in a HIIT class, 300-350 in spinning, 300 in a PT session. If I did purely cardio it would take me nearly 2 hours to burn that many.0

Agree with what everyone else has said, 1000 cals is a really high goal, and 2000 is pretty much crazy. I'll burn over 1000 during my long runs (10-15 miles) but that's only once a week. Normally I burn 300-500.
Of course, the more you weigh the more calories you burn. So if you are really overweight 1000 might be more realistic. But I think 2000 is too high of goal for most people. Take it easy, slow and steady wins the race!0 -
