    3520 calories

    I’m a postal worker that used to bike 150 miles a pop and trained for a 50k and thought it was absolutely bonkers for me to be eating 4000 calories a day on the basis that the generic recommended value was 2000 so I guess I stand corrected

      2000 calories is based on an hour of strenuous exercise a day, and it’s a broad generalization even then.
