Stats? What did you do to burn that much calories and how long were you working out for?

    I burned a couple thousand over a very long run and again on a really long hike. High calorie burns aren't always a good idea.

    article ref. metabolic damage/epair/starvation mode/triathlete gains 15 pounds http://www.exrx.net/Questions/StarvationEffect.html

    Kind of funny how we reference the same study. I keep this on my wall wen people talk about under eating and having similar symptoms as the 52 year old.

    Several thousand. Running up 14ers in CO. Prob in the 4-6000 cal range. So much that its impossible to eat enough to not drop weight. Distances range from 15 to 40miles.

    No idea! I really don't pay that much attention to those suggested calories burned most of the time.

    I haven't monitored it for my marathons so I don't really know. I hiked 21 miles cross-country on a Saturday last month and I'm sure that was a significant burn. (It felt like a marathon.) I burned a few thousand 2 weeks ago backpacking in rough, steep terrain for 11+ hours over two days. My body is very small and efficient. I have to run all-out for a mile to burn about 100 calories. Most of the time I'm sedentary, but when I'm active, I'm hard-core. Off for another wilderness adventure tomorrow! :drinker:

    Apparently I burned just over 1200 one day when I did zero to 10k in the morning and a 5k in the afternoon? lol

    I feel so inadequate with my runs burning 100cal per km, 1500 for a 15k is where I max out. Seeing some people near 4000... Wow.

    LSRs are great burns. I dare say there is no more efficient way to burn massive calories.

    1,016 calories doing 70 minutes on the elliptical set on resistance level "9" on my machine. But that was 10 lbs ago and I realized soon afterwards that I don't need to kill myself like that to keep on a steady weight-loss journey.

    I am 5'11 and I figured out after workout-days like those that I don't need to kill myself to enjoy weigh loss success. Moderate exercise, coupled with good food choices during my day is all it took...

    I've done quite a few 2k+ and 3k+ burns. I don't know how one has a crazy calorie deficit and then does large amounts of exercise. I usually do about 250 - 500 calories over maintenance on days I burn 1k+ in calories. Plan on biking in Chicago on Sunday. Around 40 miles. Going to Giordano's to make up for it. :)

    I think it's somewhere between 2,000 -2,500 when I do my half marathons.

    I used to plant trees for a reforestation company. My longest day planting was 13 hours and I planted over 4500 trees. I have no idea my burn but I am sure that would have been my most. I do know that summer I lost 38lbs in less then 3 months!

    Don't even know, but I have done long runs, plated tennis for upwards of 5 hours straight, and if you looked at the hiking I do with a 40 pound pack over a week of hunting...that would be ridiculously high.

    Stop with feeling inadequate. Don't compare yourself to others. I feel very smug (to me and myself) when I do lots of yard work or a sort of local ropes course and jack up the calories on everyday, mundane things. I admire the heck out of the folks posting here with their massive burns!! I simply not here to compete with that--out of my league!

    geez and i thought my 500 calorie (45 min sessions) were decent! i've got to step it up haha

    but reading about everyone's amazing burns just reminds me that humans have the best endurance out of any animal, predator or prey! great job guys!

    3,962 calories (via HRM) on a 6 hour long, 90 mile bike ride (and I was on the back of a tandem!). The mid-point of the ride was a stop at 3-Floyds brewery in Munster, Indiana. I feasted like a queen, and it was GLOOOORIOUS! All the foods and all the beers were consumed that day. :drinker:
