Holy shit

as your average non-overweight man should actually eat 3,050 calories a day just to maintain his weight. For women, the figure is 2,400 calories per day.

3k a day? I can't even imagine that much food. Yuck. I don't know the formulas, what's the weight required to have a TDEE of 3k calories? Way past obese, that's sure.

I often eat 3k calories per day when I spend a few hours at the gym on the weekend and burn 4k calories or more...

I just calculated it for fun. For this TDEE, a 25 year old man who is 5'10" would have to weigh....... 350 pounds!

My TDEE is about 3,500/day right now and that includes lifting in the morning, circuit training in the afternoon, and Muay Thai or distance running in the evening.

I'm an amateur bodybuilder, 1.80m (6 ft) tall, train every day (if possible). My maintenance level is estimated on about 3k calories. Yes, that is much food. But it's calculated on the amounts of training I do (2 hrs a day, on average). If I wouldn't be doing anything in daily life at all, my metobolism would only require about 1.9k or so kcalories. This article is true bullshit, and the problem with it is, that it is trying to justify obesity and overeating. But of course, it's a company who sells their products to obeasts...

Yeah, I can see that, hard workouts raise the cal requirements. I was thinking of the typical fat sedentary lifestyle. For zero exercise, 3k cal = massive weight gain.
