Of course, I can easily burn 5000 calories in a single day, and for much of the year those days happen at least once or twice a week. On marathon weekends, I will consume somewhere on the order of 18-20,000 calories over a three day span. It is not cheap, but since I cook all of my own food and rarely eat out it is a little better. I do have one advantage, though. When I stop exercising, my caloric intake drops. In fact, I have trouble keeping weight on when I stop running and it takes me much longer to put weight that I lose back on than it took to shed it. If I am not active, I'll forget to eat. While what I do eat will still be balanced, I often will not eat enough. I am still on the eat a lot of calories diet.
