Burning 2000 calories a day

[Guest2]

I have downloaded the livestrong application for iphone 'myplate' and entered my daily (mon-fri) intake & exercise. It is showing consumed calories 2074 and 1937 burned!
I eat heathily - eggs, shredded wheat, porride, fruit. Salad & chicken with fruit for lunch and something like 2x chicken breast, rice and brocolli for dinner with a couple of bananas and eggs as snacks plus a 'treat' like a snickers

Exercise I swim 30 mins crawl in the morning and indoor rock climb at night usually for 2 hours (i put 1 hour 30 on the app) plus walk about an hour a day.

Water intake is ~4.5 litres a day

The app is showing I still need to eat 2200 calories a day to maintain my weight (73kg / 172cm height)

Are these sort of apps correct or just rubbish?

I do sit at a desk all day though (apart for lunch time walk for ~30 mins)

Thats a great thread Steedie posted. Damn, my urine has looked like the colour of gravy before! (Post festival a few years back) interesting how I did have mild hallucinations. Not good but I have learnt my lesson - remember to drink water!

Entropy - yes, that seems like a better way of calculating

begbie - yep, I seem to constantly lose weight throughout the week then usually at weekends put a chunk of it back on. I can go from 12 stone sunday night back to 11.5 by friday. Usually down to alcohol intake with a meal out and takeaway. Probably isnt the healthiest but still
