Hunger

I love to eat. I eat 4 meals per day plus 3 light snacks between meals. If you bake it, grow it, or grill it, I'll eat it.

According to the Harris-Benedict or Schofield formulas my Base Metabolic Rate falls within the range of 2093 - 2231 calories needed per day to simply exist. Including those calories burned during the normal activities of the day (walking, talking, tooth brushing, etc) I am in a deficit of:

(2162 BMR + 1103 daily activities cal) x 7 days = 22855 cal/week

Add in the average number of calories depleted during exercise:

4016 avg training cal/week

And the total deficit becomes:

26,871 cal/week

or

3,839 cal/day

Now where did I put that take-out menu...
