    I've hit 1800+ exercise calories in a single day.

    15k steps (pedometer) = 1,678 calories
    30 min cycling (Strava App) = 217 calories

    But that was an exceptional day, not something that happens every day.

    I'd second that. I cycle. I can pretty easily burn 1000 calories an hour keeping an 18-20mph pace and that was at about 100kg body weight.

    I get pretty similar results on an indoor spin bike according to both the on bike display and the calculations based on my heart rate belt worn during both. Also, MapMyRide comes up with numbers in the same neighborhood when I ride on the road. They are all within 10% of each other, so we are in the ball park.

    FWIW, I did a 101km ride and my calorie burn was approximately 5600 calories for that one ride.

    So I can see where someone with greater mass could be burning over 2K calories a day if they are engaged in strenuous exercise.
