7,200 calories burned in a day?!

If your moving furniture and boxes from 8-5 every day, its entirely possible to be burning that many calories.

35000 steps is a ton of steps, so yes absolutely if the steps and your stride is accurate the calories will be close.

If its correct and I dont use a counter then the weight should be dropping off, way to go and I bet soon you will be strugling to eat enough (jealous).

Actually how much do you weigh? 720 calories an hour continuous is pretty impressive, so am more cautious. You will be able to tell vyby results .

Unless you're consuming over 9200 calories per day, you would be losing weight at an alarming weight. Those "fitness trackers" are notorious for not being accurate. The most accurate way to track your burned calories is using a heart rate monitor.

Let me put it this way, a person who weighs 210 lbs would burn about 3500 calories running an entire marathon. While you do have a physical job, use that to put some perspective on how skewed those number readings you are getting are.

You described what you used to drink and eat, and while that IS a lot of calories, if you were really burning 6500-7200 calories per day, you would still be losing weight. Guesstimate that an average fast food meal is about 1000 calories and a 6 pack of soda at 150 calories per can is 900 calories, you're still hovering around 3000 calories per day. You need a 500 calorie a day deficit from your TDEE in order to lose 1lb per week.

What you eat is much more important for weight loss than activity level. You can't outrun the calories you eat.

7000ish is about what I burn over the course of a full Ironman race...

They're not within reason and that's what we're trying to tell you at the end of the thread. Unless you are pushing yourself to the level that someone doing a full Ironman race is, you're just not burning that many calories in a day, let alone multiple times a week. You're likely not estimating your food correctly either.

There are a lot of people that shift their daily calorie goals because they have very heavy activity level certain days and little to none others. Many powerlifters do this. They eat big on their lifting days and not so big on their rest days. That would probably be to your benefit considering how hard your job is on the "active" days, but you should look into another way to estimate your needed intake and then adjust your calorie intake accordingly and over time adjust the numbers up and down as needed instead of relying on notoriously inaccurate "fitness counters".
