just to put things in perspective, phelps with his weight would burn 20 calories per minute if he sprinted or ran as fast as he possibly can...this is 1200 cal per hour...forget about the 1000 cal per hour for 6 hours...just forget about it 
you absorb only a portion of the nutrients in your food...google it... |
Youre telling me things I already know man. Youre no expert. Ive been doing this for close to 15 years now...this is pretty common knowledge. There are so many different factors involved in there neither you or myself could come to any conclusion about someone elses diet, training, etc. I know what works for me and I proved that I can be single digit BF while not looking like a carb depleted, flat, emaciated human and still eating carbs.sugar! Whahooo!!!
Perhaps you should consider eatting some carbs and you wont be a super skinny "extreme ecto" as you call it. Still waiting for proof of that and your super lean-ness. Youre prob skinny fat with 0 muscle.
