    I am just kind of wondering how you burn 3,000 calories in one day? I know even when I am sweating my a** off and working out really hard the most I have burned in a single work out is around 700 calories.

    eating 1600-1800 a day is a great intake, despite what you are burning. I personally do not count my exercise calories and eat at the same calorie intake ( around 1700) everyday.

    My TDEE is 2410. If I go to the gym, I get to 3k. It depends on what the person does and how much they weigh, etc.

    Are they still trying to loose? I eat 1900+ a day right now.

    It's basically what I am doing and it's working fine for me. I use a bodymedia so I know what I burn in a 24 hour period and I keep my food intake at 1000 less calories. On the days when I burn a little more, I eat a little more. On the days that I burn a little less, I eat a little less. I usually burn 2800....have burned as much as 3600 and as little as right under 2300

    ETA: after reading some responses I will clarify, 2800 calories burned is in a 24 hour period, NOT just from some exercise.

    You might be right. See what happens if she ups her intake a bit.
