And I agree, that caloric expenditure seems high.
Well, if we take that calculation into effect, my body is at a RMR of around 1950 calories a day. This is under 100 calories an hour, around I do about 80 minutes of workout, so lets say 100 calories, is already in my RMR that is being calculated as well. I say 600 - 750 is still pretty decent for my purposes.

I also do NOT take into account the thermogenic effect of food AND all my cold water for the day (which is about 10% of calories consumed, another 200 calories for digestion which I don't add) I feel that I have a very good rough estimate of what my body is doing.
