| Kona.Max: | You're cranking, Roger! How many calories a day are you eating in a week where you're exercising 15 or 20 hours? |

| roschi: | I have an extremely high metabolism (ever heard me talk? :) so I need about 5500 calories.. which is sick really, I eat at least 3-5 (sometimes more) candy bars.. several extra meals (currently twolunches, sometimes three), and a lot before I go to bed.. the alternative is dropping below 180 lbs which is my low end weight where i can stay injury free..... (I know some people want to strangle me about that, but not being able to gain weight can be a problem too) |

| Flying Scotsman: | You savage Rog, thats a great w/e of multisport. Fairly got the hours in. I've often wondered about the calories, 5500 is huge by "normal" peoples standards. |

| roschi: | Under the "caloric intake" scale I once read it came up as "canadian lumber jack" no idea where they got that from, apparently only the canadian lumber jacks, the american lumber jacks eat 6000-7000 and get fat :) |

| Kona.Max: | I wonder what it would be if you were sedentary. HAHAHAHA, okay...whew! Now that we've got that mental picture out of the way, I wonder what your sedentary "basal" requirement is. My fitday log says mine's around 2000 calories. Add to that around 700 or so for my officework type daily routine. Add to that, oh, 600 per hours burned during aerobic exercise. You seem to exercise around 20 hours per week, which is a couple of thousand per day. So I would've guessed that it would take you 5 or 6k just to keep from becomoing emaciated.
I, on the other hand, haven't eaten since 1997 and I'm still 200 goddam pounds. I'm logging every calorie I eat and every calorie I spend in an effort to drop 20 or so. |

| roschi: | yeah glen has the same problem... man trains 20-25h during spring and still needs to watch what he eats... five years ago during my phd i worked out 1-2h per week and still ate about 3500 calories per day... it just depends... or maybe i have a giganto worm I am unaware of... :) |

| Kona.Max: | Wow, that would be one way to lose weight! |

| Flying Scotsman: | Reckon I eat about 4500 but I'm not clued in enough to know about counting. All I know is that I can eat 4 meals a day with snacks inbetween, including full fat ice cream, and drop weight by end summer. Come low training season though and the "insulation comes back". |

| Stinky Pete: | I tried the worm. I just gets bigger and retains the weight you would normally crap out. On top of that, the wiggling around is unnerving. Roger is right. the minute my hours go below 15 per week I start gaining unless I cut back.
