If you ran for 24 hours straight you’d have burned off a ton more than 2k calories…
I did this a few years ago (100 mi ultra marathon). Burned roughly 10k calories over 26h.
2k? I must be having light snacks.
Out of curiosity, how many calories do you think you need everyday just to survive?
Back when I was doing high intensity interval training in college I would regularly hit ~2k calories burned a day. Few things satiate the kind of hunger that gives you like a burger
If you’re actually trying to manage your weight, do not increase your physical activity. Reduce how much you eat.
Most sites say running burns around 60 Calories/km or 100 Calories/mile. The average person burns 2,000 Calories a day by existing. If you ran a 10k every day, then you’d be using 2,600 Calories a day.
The difference in effort between “existing” and “runs a 10k every day” is massive, but the difference in Calories burned is equivalent to a large fry from McDonalds. So would you rather run a 10k or just take the fries out of your order?
I mean, it’s weird to encourage people not to increase their physical activity if they’re trying to manage their weight.
While it’s true you can’t out-train a bad diet, exercising, even for just 30 minutes every other day will go a long. Running a 5k will take about half an hour depending on your fitness level and will burn a good 350 calories or so, more if you’re overweight. Do that 3 times a week and that’s the equivalent of a about 2 meals you’ve burnt off (or one really unhealthy meal). Plus getting outside and exercising is good for your mental health.

Until u realize that person is eating 3x the cals they burned as soon as they’re done running cuz now they’re hungry from running.
It’s more complicated than that. Decreasing calorie intake can also decrease your basal metabolism, whereas exercise can increase it.
For some people exercise is more effective than simply eating less.
If you eat junk, even if you exercise a lot, you will get fat. See sumo athletes.
Sumo, while fat, are also extremely muscular though. They’re not hot eating junk food, they usually have specific diets.
