Nowhere else are you going to go for as long, or as consistently high percentages of VO2 as in endurance athletics. Any traditional sport has breaks, slower periods, etc. that all decrease the overall caloric expenditure per unit time. I know that running burns around 1400-1600 cal/hr for top runners in an hour long race effort (half marathon). Anyone know similar values for swimmers or cyclists? Well Micheal Phelps was on around a 12k calorie per day diet when he was training for the Olympics, obviously he is the exception not the rule. He was swimming like 80,000m per day. | ||

Though this isn't the same as calories I guess. | ||

He was swimming like 80,000m per day. 80,000m per week. Per day, at world record 1500m freestyle time would have him swimming for about 13 hrs a day. http://omg.yahoo.com/blogs/balancedliving/michael-phelps-squashes-those-12-000-calories-per-223817970.html Sounds like he likes the olympic lifts too. | ||

He was swimming like 80,000m per day. Yea, my hunch is per hour, running might overtake cycling/swimming for calories burned (not as sure about XC skiing). However, if we look at calories per day, I could see swimming or cycling being greater due to the restrictions on running volume that come from physical stress. Most top guys that run anywhere from mile to marathon put in around 100-150 mpw and a pretty regular basis. While that sounds like a ton, its really "only" like an hour and a half to two hours per day. The other sports don't quite stress the muscle as intensely and I believe its common for cyclists to ride 4-6+ hours in a day, and I think swimmers are able to have more extended training sessions as well. | ||

Still, he probably ate like 6-8k there are other athletes that eat around that amount though, Gunde Swan,Swedish cross country skier ate around 11k calories a day when he was in his prime and as we all know those guys are thin as fuck | ||

You need to decide which is more important to you. Muscles or squash. Increasing your daily caloric intake wont magically make you put on muscle while playing squash. To gain 10 kgs of good lean body mass your going to need progressive overload over time. You gotta lift. | ||

You gotta lift. Read the OP again. He's planning to start lifting in his off season (which should be ~now) which is what pretty much every collegiate athlete in america does. | ||

Ie. Dirty bulk is eating crap like pizzas/maccas for easy calories/macros and not working out so often. Clean bulk is calorie counting while watching your macros AND training good. | ||
