    I agree, how the heck are you burning 5,000 calories a day???? I can quite literally run a marathon and not even come close to burning that many a day.

    If you really are burning that many calories, then you need to see a nutritionalist as none of us are going to be able to advise you on what you need to be eating to fuel your body for that amount of exercise and remain healthy.

    oh my word! I am guessing you have something messed up in your exercise log! If you overrode the calorie burn amount it will stay that way in your recently used exercises and then when you keep adding it, it will be wrong each time. Same goes for the foods. I accidently was added a pork chop for 5 calories one day. Mmmmm that was a good 5 cal pork chop!

    You may want to go in and re-add what you are doing and that should fix it. If you truely are exercising that much, well, you are just plain crazy so you need to stop :)

    I hope this doesn't come off as rude, but there is no way you are burning that number of calories. I'm pretty sure I walk 3.0 miles per hour around my house cleaning and just doing regular stuff but I wouldn't count that as exercise. Not that walking isn't exercise (I logged 48 min of 4.0 MPH today), but your totals are excessive and I believe, probably way inflated.

    That said, if you tell me you wear a reputable HRM I will eat my words. As long as they don't have calories. :-)

    Wow. I think your numbers are off. My boyfriend eats 4000 a day but he is trying to gain weight....

    I burn over 2000 calories on a short (25 mile) bike ride. As the rides get longer later in the season, I burn much more. A metric century (65 miles) burns about 5,000 calories and takes about 3.5 hours. It's not impossible to burn this many calories. You just have to have a life that allows you to spend that much time on fitness. Man, I miss those days.

    You're awesome!

    Well if you really wanted to eat that many calories you could do it by eating about 7 Tony's pepperoni pizzas at 900 calories each but that's only 6300 so you could probably get a milk shake from McDonalds to wash it all down.

    This totally sounds like my kind of diet. I :heart: pizza! haha

    But seriously OP, if you are an athlete (assuming the 5k cals are legit), why are you asking MFP for help, shouldn't you have professionals helping you?

    I'm betting that something is entered incorrectly - like you have things set in kilos, but you entered pounds. Hence doubling things for you... along with other settings possibly being off.

    Walking at any pace will not burn 1000+ calories per hour. Even running for an hour will not burn anywhere near that many. You may be eating too many calories already.

    It is possible to burn that many calories, I've burnt over 4000 today riding 100miles. But I am unlikely to eat them all back today. I will go over the next couple of days though as I will be hungry!

    I walk/jog on my treadmill for an hour at the same pace as your exercise diary and only burn about 500 calories....though I can't tell you if it is off....I don' t know how you are entering it in....do you use a heart rate monitor?
