    I did say “most of it”. That was just to start the day. We’d often run again in the evening, lift weights, do pushups and sit-ups throughout the day, and do a full day of work. I was eating more than I was burning since I was able to put on muscle, but not by much, since my body fat percentage was low. The point of the story was that I had enough food to eat for the first time in my life thanks to the Army mess hall, and I thought it was great.

      I would guess it’s more like 1000 tops. Sorry, I just like to be precise and the number seemed off. Doesn’t really matter to the story. I’m sure you’re able to burn a lot calories during army training.
