I would guess -- and it really is a guess -- that I am about 1750 calories a day. I tend not to diet or count calories, so I really do not know.
I did, however, have *two Twinkies* today.
Wait, wait! I can explain.
When my son was little, we would declare a celebration when he achieved something big in school. I also wanted my children to understand why my childhood treats tasted like. So I bought a box of Twinkies and announced we would have a "Twinkiebration" -- a celebration with Twinkies.
Something good happened yesterday, so he went to the store and bought a whole box of Twinkies to celebrate something I had done. I ate two.
As you can see, I had no choice.
I am on the court an average of 2.5 hours per day and I do some fitness work every day as well. I try to get into 240 minutes of intense cardio per week and 2 or 3 full body weightlifting sessions. Plus my wife and I walk everywhere, we hate driving if we don't have to. I eat to maintain almost no deficit, for years I tracked religiously in a notebook macros and calories. Now I pretty much know it by feel.
4,000 calories a day as an average for the US? I find that hard to believe.
5'10 134lbs as of five minutes ago after just eating a subway vegetarian footlong. with extra onions. love the onions.
only hobbits and drunk people that go to taco bell eat fourth meals.
3k???

around 1500, perhaps less on some days. I play twice a week two hours each time. sometimes a little more some times less.
and who gets lattes? coffee is a drug. take it like a man and just get a double shot of espresso. five calories. I hate going to starbucks, and there is some guy I want a caramel frap with extra cream. takes like ten minutes.
But I do love going on coffee dates and asking the ladies if the want me to cream in their coffee.
Some of these calorie estimations are way too low. Are you all 5'4 135? How can you guys be that active and not even top 3k?
I think I trust these estimates even less than people's serve speed estimates, and that's saying something.

Let's say that you consume 30 grams of almonds, measured on a kitchen scale accurate to 1/2 gram. Would you consider that accurate?
