I'm not doing the Atkins diet but I have a question that people here
might know the answer to.
A couple of days ago I did a lot of endurance exercise that probably
burned 4,000 kcal. Even though I had a meal high in carbs before I
surely must have burned some fat.
That's a *VAST* amount of endurance exercise. Running a marathon can
easily take around 3500 calories so less than what you burned. The
fact that you did an amount of endurance exercise at least as much as
a marathon is key here. I'll call it a marathon for most of the rest
of my response.
Thanks for the response.
I see now that my guess of 4,000 was rather optimistic. It was probably
something around 2,100 and it was from 33 miles of cycling (230 lbs @
15mph = 966kcal/hour x 2.2hrs = 2125)
At 230 lbs running costs abou 165 kcal/mile. Cycling uses about 1/5 of
that. So my guess is more like 1100 kcal to cycle 33 miles.
