    Are you sure that is accurate? A 250lb man would have to do roughly 2.5 hours of high impact aerobics a day to burn 2k cal. If that is accurate, then yes, you probably should be consuming roughly 4000 a day.

    If you are feeling full at a much lower calorie intake, then I can assure you you aren't burning as much as your think!
