Hi my boss thinks my goal to burn 1000 calories a day is .....how can you put it......*screws face up and says na*?
Is it too much? She feels it is?

    1000 is fine - you're body will tell you if it is too much. I tend to hit 2400 a day and 3000-4500 on a club weekend ride (70-110 miles)

    It depends on your calorie intake. I'm sure athletes in training burn more than that in a day. Just make sure you're giving your body nutritious food to sustain burning that many calories.

    It's safe ....If you're fueling it. Don't burn 1000 and eat 1500. If you can't eat if back, exercise less.

    it also depends on how quickly u can burn calories... it would take me like 2 or 3 hrs going full blast to burn 1000.

    My question to you would be, what does your boss know about this sort of thing? Has she gone to school to be a nutritionist? Is she a licensed physical trainer? If the answer to those is no, then I wouldn't worry about what she says and ask someone who could tell you for sure.

    As long as you keep your net cals at a safe level, I can't see any problem? I burned 3000 odd on Monday :-?
