    A big body needs a lot of energy to just function and to keep you alive. If you walk around with a bigger body it also requires more energy to move. To be honest, 2600 calories for losing weight slowly sounds about right. However, it's very unlikely you're burning 800 calories in 40 minutes. That's top athlete kind of range. Maybe eat a part of that back for now and re-evaluate in 4-6 weeks.
