Is spending 500 cals / day in workout / physical activity feasible?
I mean, EVERY DAY for like 6 months
Has anyone ever tried it? what are you tips to stay motivated?

Sure, go ahead and try it. It's not like the sticky doesn't exist...

6.1km run every day if you weigh 80kg is ~500 calories. That's not particularly off the wall. You'll probably drop the weight though so it will take less and less energy to run it.
Cameron Myers
Yeah, it's called sports training. During crew season, we would practice for 2 hours on the water every morning and have another 10k or so of machine distance for homework every night. And that was for a club team. Kids with scholarships do way more.
Jeremiah Morris
not OP, but are there any running workout that are 500kcals for 30 mins?
Angel Wilson
Unless you're ultra-fit, you're not going to break 10-12cal/min
Thomas Baker
Those numbers seem absurdly low. Maybe they estimate ridiculously slow paces? e.g. 10 minute miles?
Grayson Reed
I do it. I find it pretty easy. I usually walk my dog for 3-4 miles (winds up being around 250-300 calories since we live around hills) and workout at the gym for another 250-300 doing cardio and weightlifting.
Nathaniel Bennett
whut? it's not very hard to reach 15cals/min
Carson Garcia
It's based on a body weight 155 lbs. And no, they're not absurdly low. Are you NYRfag?
Aaron Cook
Look at the research papers wrt energy expenditure and exercise. Good luck sustaining 15cal/min
Liam Gomez
No, but a 10k in under an hour at 155lbs is >1k calories according to this calculator:

People say things like "a moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips" and "you can't outrun a bad diet" for a reason, user.
James Harris
1 hour to run 5 miles is absurdly slow. Which brings us to my original comment.
Brody Nguyen
That's a runners world article, not a paper.
Energy expenditure from exercise is pitifully low, plus you've got to take into account its affect on appetite and lowering NEAT
ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
(People asked to exercise until they'd burnt either 200 or 300kcal and amestimated energy expenditure of their exercise bout. The nhmbers ranged from 150kcal to 4000kcal
Angel Harris
Sorry, was thinking 10k was about 5 miles and didn't notice the km option. I'm american, I don't know these dumb metric measurements.
But even so:

Argh, disregard all that, I suck cocks. I accidentally had it set to 155kg.

calories aren't a currency so what are you actually asking?
Thomas Ross
OP probably meant expend.
Leo Hill
ok so maybe the gym treadmill is lying, but if I run like 12km/h with like a 2% incline it tells me some energy expenditure along those lines (and it's not difficult to maintain this pace for 30 mins after some training)
Julian Adams
Most machines overestimate.
What exactly are you trying to do? Justify eating like shit? You can't eat like shit all the time. You can eat like shit here and there.
Jordan Thomas
That's because the machine has a massive vested interest in throwing out inflated energy expenditure figures, no fatty would use one otherwise.
Liam Long
are you retarded
Dylan Martinez
I may be, what's you're point?
Adrian Cook
yes, for replying to this clearly bait thread
Kevin Cooper
I workout 3 hours a day and if I eat 4500 or less I maintain. 5000 and I'm making slow gains
