    Those numbers seem way high. I wonder if the individuals studied were soldiers. I would have a hard time eating 3500 calories in a day and I’m 6’2"

      Yeah, it is very high. Other sources place intake a shade above 2500cal/day for their selected demographic. I really wonder where they’re getting their data from.
