How did you consume 4k on workdays (assuming you weren’t dirty bulking)?

 

[Brownslave688]

My Fitbit claims I burn 5000-6000 calories and I will usually walk 12-14 miles a day. I don't know if that's really accurate though.

Those things are really high on calories burned and steps also a lot

I probably consume 6-8k most days.

I would eat a dozen egg whites and a pound of bacon for breakfast
3 boneless skinless chicken breasts cubed and mixed with 6 Hardboiled Egg whites for lunch on route
16 to 24oz of Steak and 16oz of Lobster,Crab,Fish or Shrimp for dinner
Snack on Avocados,Almonds and Cashews.
Drank 4 to 5 Protein Shakes a day

I usually lose weight during the summer, butt I chose a nice rural area to have more windshield time between stops & have been snacking in between...

No bonus in feeders .

Couple extra notches in the belt is a bonus.

You know what is crazy when I was in shape and 2500 or so calories I def didn’t sleep as much but I had way more energy.

I just can't fall asleep. Feels like my body is eating itself. Specifically my brain, it starts hurting.

My body can't even digest that much even if I run. I'd be farting all day and wouldn't be able to work after lunch.

Gotta feed the Machine.
High quality fuel gives you energy

Walking at a brisk pace burns about 100 calories per mile. If you're really burning 5-6 thousand calories a day you must be doing something in addition to all that walking.

Stairs, bulk stops and Irregs usually do the trick
