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.
Lol, You do realize that they are probably in fatigues going at a very fast run or they are in full gear still running. Either way 8 mile run with no gear is probably 700kCal while 50lbs of gear is 1000kCal for a run. Factor in they do this twice a day, on top of probably a full body weight life regime thats probably burning a conservative side of 600kCal. Mix in the fact that a sedentary individual will burn 2000kcal existing. I can reasonably expect someone one in boot camp burning 4000kCal to 4600kCal. Some light research indicates that Marines training anticipate a daily calorie burn of 4100kCal a day.
