How much exercise to eat 10,000 cals a day?

[rude boy]

Just curious, how much exercise would one have to do in order to be able to eat 10,000 calories a day without fat gain?

Enough to burn 10,000 calories.

You can sit on your ass and eat 10,000. You'd just be fat as hell.

Honestly I don't think it's humanly possible. Maybe if you're in very good shape you might be able to pull it off once but then I don't think you'd have time to eat that much. Do you know how much 10,000 calories is?!

I've heard about that but I've never searched for the details. Only heard "13,000 calories a day." I'm still skeptical but I'll search and prove myself wrong.

According to google about 3-4 marathons a day.

I know when people climb mountains like everest and K2 their calorie expenditure becomes ridiculously high..... like 10-15k on summit day..... but at those altitudes there's so little oxygen your body can't metabolise food properly, so theoretically you could eat 50,000 calories and you'd still be loosing weight as most of the 10-15k will come from your muscles breaking down. (You'd also die within about a week, but that's a minor detail. )

That is certainly a lot of food but is it really 12-13,000 calories? Either way it says he trains 5 hours a day, 6 days a week. And I'm sure it's not a slow pace on the eliptical. Unless you're a world class athlete and have no other obligations to commit to, it seems highly unlikely for the average individual to achieve. I'd be interested in hearing your plan though.

I used a BodyBugg once to calculte when I was lifting + 2 Muay Thai session (2 hours each) daily... Keep in mind I'm a 135 lbs female and my maintenance was around 6000 cals.

Swimming 4 hours would take of that easy.

I've never been a competitive athlete ever in my life (not even close) but even I found out I burned a lot more calories than I thought.

One time on vacation about 10 years ago I actually counted calories for the entire month (this is the only time I have ever done this in my life) . I was hoping to get a "recomp" on 4200 calories per day but I ended up losing 8 pounds total instead (ie, 2 pounds per week)

This is why I am often suprised to see these really low calorie diets used by people here. Seriously what is going to be accomplished on a 2200 calories/day "weight watchers" style cut? Probably not much (unless the entire day other than the exercise is spent at a desk job)

Exactly.

I haven't lifted weight in the past 2 months and I only do Muay Thai, around 8-10 hours per week. I walk a lot because I don't have a car... and I find that I burn way more calories during winter time (no idea why tho !). I "plan" around 2500 calories everyday but I snack for maybe some 800-1000 extra on someday... and maintening my weight at 135 lbs.

Because definitively don't eat enough. And I'm definitively not an ecto, I'm just active in my everyday life.

first of all, why would you want to. i guarantee you anyone who thinks "ohh i could eat all day without stopping" would get tired of eating 10,000 calories in less than a week, if they lasted more than a day.

that being said, id imagine if you run 70-ish miles a day youd be set

U mad cuz I see it fine?

[RandallH19891]

I do now too!

[Dedicatedforlife]

10,000...I lose weight on that.

[WannaBeAthlete]

Impossible to reach my maintenance when playing 3-4 hours of hard full court basketball for a day. Of course, your feet are so freakin torn up by that time that eating until you're sick is the least of your pain.

I can't imagine swimming hard for hours and hours, 6 days a week. The workload is more impressive than the calories consumed.

just an FYI Lance would lose like 20-30 pounds during the tour de france eating 6000 a day
